Mostly +1 to that. But I don't think you're right that a consolidation must deliver through the WOS. A consolidation (such as, say, the HCTS consolidation or Sun Ray or Sun Cluster) can also deliver independently. The important features of a consolidation are that it's managed as a single software unit, and it has carefully controlled and understood boundaries with other consolidations. In this case, that's not true. Garrett's charged that I've only been negative on the proposal, and I don't think that's right. I've positively suggested running it as a project rather than as a separate consolidation (and you've added, rightly I think, that running it as a child of ON would be the easiest solution). I've also suggested running a group of projects that deliver independently (in as much as we really do need a *simple* independent delivery mechanism). And I've suggested that, at least in some cases, solving some of the barriers that this proposal is trying to work around (private GLDv3) would be a more useful contribution. But it seems clear that these aren't solutions under consideration, which is why I'm just saying "good luck." -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
