At this point, it *seems* to be little more than an artifact of how we used to do things in Solaris when we built DVDs in vinyl binders, rather than something much more dynamic like debian or blastwave. In my mind, it boils down to a question of why we would require, say, the source for Firefox to be copied from the upstream community to a SFW source tree, compiled by SFW maintainers, and pushed to a repository, rather than having the firefox community itself create ips packages and push them out directly? On the other hand, if you equate debian with sfw (as both being consolidations of FOSS stuff), then there is probably little to no difference. -John
