Not to be too pedantic, but 2008.11 isn't a different distro, it's a different release of the same line of distro development. I don't think any of us is particularly attached to the Indiana name, but we aren't that motivated to make up another one, either. Perhaps my previous reply was a little abrupt (sorry, Dennis) but opensolaris-discuss isn't a viable suggestion because it's already in use for a different purpose. > That said, it makes perfect sense to maintain a mailing list for the > specific subtopic of OpenSolaris distros, as long as we agree on the > purpose of the list.
