By participating in the OpenSolaris project, which now includes the
building of the OpenSolaris binary distributions. The OpenSolaris
world has changed from the days when distros were all someone else's
problem. Should Sun wish to change this in the future Solaris.next
fork off the OpenSolaris distro, they can - that choice is truly Sun's
to make - but the OpenSolaris 2008.05 and successor distros are being
built with the community, and thus volunteers can make changes like this.
