Yes, it would. I personally have not tried lx branded zones. But
I have used it as a point while advocating/evangelizing. Many
customers feel they have a "safety net" that would allow them to run
a "mission-critical" Linux application. Even if they never need it.
Well, another point for (Open)Solaris gone...
Well, there was no public decision on this case, so we the community could
disapprove it. It would however only make sense if a sufficient number of
uses exist for this feature.
Joerg,
Whilst engineers, in general, are not really in a
position to influence business decisions, rest
assured in knowing that the group of said engineers
is at the leading edge of those using Open/Solaris
on the desktop and thus will be the first to suffer
when applications they want to run/use are not
available for Solaris but are for Linux as binaries.
So whilst they may, in appearance, be taking action
to cause you and others pain, remember that because
they all use Open/Solaris as their desktop that they
will probably feel that pain first before you or others.
I would think that this is the first, of perhaps many?,
changes that will allow an external distribution to
differentiate itself from Open/Solaris in terms of
features provided with the base install, using source
code that originally came from Oracle as the base.
