OI has provided hope for some of us. OI team already explicitly said

I understand that, although there have been releases since, and b147 is
available today. Plus there is SX11. Continuing to burn cycles on b148
that could have been better spent addressing the real future needs is
what bugs me. And more to the point, I'm being constrained from making
improvements I need to (in illumos-gate) by lagging OI. And most
grievously, it is OI's pseudo-compatibility goals with Oracle's releases
(and now with its own prior releases) that create some of the biggest
handicaps.
What constraints are you having?
So, OI has a role.
What do you want from OI people?. If they are only half a dozen
"integrators", what kind of help you want from these poor guys?.
I want to help them. But I can't do that while they are stuck trying to
follow in Oracle's footsteps. *If* we can move forward, I can help them
and probably *double* their resource. If we can't do that, then I'll
probably wind up spending that resource starting a new project instead.
Where do you want to take an Illumos based distro?
