Illumos is resilient and certainly has a future as long as the community stays optimistic. It was brought up earlier in the week the issue of Illumos requiring a new and proper reference OS distribution. I believe this is what is holding back Illumos uptake and to entice new developers to get involved. I believe this has been a contributing issue for some time. And not to mention the wiki and website, which could both do with some updating. That's just my 2 cents as an outside observer of Illumos.
