This sounds good ... but is it realistic? As I understand it, we're 
stretched for resources anyway (anyone care to object? ;-), so in effect 
duplicating effort seems somehow not-so-optimal.

Maybe this is the way to go in the long run, once Solaris has 
re-established itself as a first order citizen in the KDE world, but until 
then, my personal preference would be to have one distro to rule^Wfit all 
supported releases of Solaris (ok, two - Sparc and x86. Hmm ... make that 
four - IPS is unavoidable, I think, if only for installation speed).

what do our fearless leaders (Stefan, Adriaan, Luc ...) think about this?

that's certainly something worth working towards.
