I started the discussion on illumian prior to the code so that if there
were problems and objections that we could change, we could make changes
prior to the code.

I agree with Bryan. Unfortunately news of illumian escaped before the code
did. When I started illumos it was first with a code drop.
In any case a governing body has no place in a discussion like this as there is
no basis for it to govern. People are free to fork and innovate. And this is
as it should be.

All of this discussion makes me know more than ever that we need a governing
board. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong. In order to make decisions a
board should be elected by the community and for the community. From the
governing board, we should be able to add working groups/projects.
All in favor of nominating and electing a governing board?
No, no, no, no and no! This is _exactly_ the kind of process/governance fetish that OpenSolaris
developed, and it must be firmly and emphatically rejected! We do _not_ need to "elect
projects" -- we need to experiment with many different kinds of ideas _by_ _implementing_
_them_. That is, without the burden of elections and governing boards and "sponsored
projects" and all of this other crypto-fascist nonsense. Please: lead with _implementation_,
not rhetoric. If there's a mistake here, it's the fact that illumian was pre-announced here and
opened for bike shedding instead of just _made_ _available_. So if you want to announce something,
do it with a public source repository and a download -- that's all the process we need.
