I started twitching weeks ago. I see a snv_137 has landed but no distro
based on it. Really, we as a community should be rolling our own by now

If the Community wants to be certain of having a distribution that it
has anything real control or say over, then this is the only way
forward. Due to trademark conflicts, such a distribution may be
required to have some name other than "OpenSolaris".
Absent communication from Oracle management, I don't think the community
can make any assumptions about OpenSolaris, either 2010.03 or otherwise.
As a for-profit corporation, Oracle can be counted on to do what it
deems is best for it and its shareholders. This will not always be
compatible with the goals of the OpenSolaris community. Its important
that the community understand this when deciding how to proceed.
