I wish I had known about Schillix-ON earlier. I had just finished upgrading to OI151a.
Are Schillix-ON and the OI userland mutually exclusive? Or can we swap the Illumos and Schillix-ON kernels as we please? I hope both kernels can mutually read each others' zfs pools, to avoid unintentional lock-in. It would be beneficial to OI and its users to offer a choice between kernels, if this is at all feasible. It would also be great if Schillix-ON can offer a list of "different goals" they have from Illumos. How is a potential user/contributor supposed to know which kernel to use, aside from picking the most popular one off hand? I see that Shillix-ON deviates from Illumos since version 147, I wonder if KVM support is planned? But this probably belongs in another list.
