Dan, I think the type of discussion and interest around BrandX is likely to be orthogonal to that of Zones. Without completely spoiling the surprise, BrandX hopes to publish interfaces where Zones could take on personalities for RedHat, FreeBSD, AIX, Mac OS X or whatever. I imagine much of the discussion may focus on the specifics of using those interfaces and differences between the Zone personality and the real deal. Those discussions seem very much distinct from the Zones community.
BrandX is also unlikely to be a code name any more than Zones, DTrace, or FMA are code names. All those names are reflected in the interfaces and commands associated with those project and BrandX will be no different. Further, having branded-zones-discuss really obscures what I think will be a hot community and one in which we've already seen tremendous interest.
