WIWTTS (What I was trying to say) was that we seem to be getting worked up over something (words and phrasing) that isn't worth getting so worked up about. IMO, there is nothing wrong with (and lots to be desired) in having a set of reference configurations that are identified as "THE OpenSolaris ___". In such a world, referring to "The Distro that is exactly as defined by the OpenSolaris Laptop Distro Reference Specification" as simply "OpenSolaris" isn't something that is going to pop a blood vessel in my brain. Of course, IANA(TM)L. -John
