For those who are developing code for or with OpenSolaris,
what meaning should the words "Consolidation Private" have
when applied to internal interfaces?

Arguably any interface that falls under this classification
should be open to use by any OpenSolaris project, whether
it is a Sun project or not, correct ?

If was to develop software that was targetted at OpenSolaris,
should I steer clear of "Consolidation Private" interfaces ?

My questions come as I read various documents on OpenSolaris.Org
and see the words "CONSOLIDATION PRIVATE" appear from time to
time and the occasional reference to recommendations with respect
to 3rd party use.  Whilst this phrase has a particular meaning
inside of Sun and for ISVs of Software for Solaris, what it means
(or doesn't mean) for OpenSolaris isn't quite as clear to me.

p.s. I've sent this to psarc-ext@ because I believe it is
a discussion that should be visible to OpenSolaris community
members.
