OK, so from your point of view it is good idea to duplicate utilities in Opensolaris core and just "hide" Solaris tools? Can you check, if in based installation of Mac OS X, there is really GNU userland? What is the difference if you start terminal in Solaris for you? Which features are you missing? Again, I'm not saying that our tools are great, I'm saying that duplications are bad, create big mess and big troubles in consitency and maintaining.
