Two things here: First. whether you like it or not, almost everybody has agreed with most all the decisions that Ian has made so far. And, second, whether you like it or not, it makes pretty good sense to call it 'OpenSolaris'. > FreeBSD solves the problem by not shipping with a window manager at > all, why not do that?
