Consolidation Private means *exactly* the same as it did before OpenSolaris. OpenSolaris has consolidations just the same as Solaris had. Internal interfaces have the "Internal" taxonomy they are different things. Internal is "below" Private and is generally only allowed for things that can't be "seen" from the outside, for example functions and symbols in a library with local scope. Project Private also means exactly the same as do all of the public taxonomies. There is only one taxonomy that is a problem and that is the one named "Sun Private" there is no "OpenSolaris Private" and neither should there be. The "Sun Private" taxonomy is *very much* frowned on and is very very rarely allowed to be used, the reason being it is actually identical to Committed (nee Stable) but without documentation shipped outside of Sun - in an open source world this makes even less sense that it ever did inside Sun. Its use is mostly historical. -- Darren J Moffat
