David,
I you can consider me 'official', then, yes, OSOL -> SX -> Solaris is
the idea.

Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] Re: What is OpenSolaris?
OpenSolaris is that, but that's not the only thing that
it is.
Ok, this also what Alan says.
Hey! *Everyone* who would like to have anything to do
with anything that involves OpenSolaris belongs here.
I understand. :) Just, from some of the responses I got, it sounded like my
reasoning for being here, wasn't valid. Now I'm hearing the opposite, and I'm
waiting on an official response.
But you *are* contributing to the overall community.
Thanks, and right. :)
Not at all. I too am primarily interested in OpenSolaris because
it and Solaris proper are closely interwoven, and any code I
contribute is with the primary aim of improving Solaris. And I
think that the statement "OSOL is what becomes SX is what becomes
Solaris" is also true, and I'm sure that OpenSolaris is other
things too. The one thing that OpenSolaris isn't is restrictive
or exclusive .
If OSOL is what becomes SX is what becomes Solaris, AND it is other things,
that's perfectly fine, I'm in the right spot! If it's not though, then I'm not.
;) Need official clarification!
(Perhaps I'm being needlessly shortsighted in ignoring the
other distributions. But while I'm not - currently at any
rate - having any involvement with them, I'm glad that they
exist and are contributing to the diversity of OpenSolaris.)
I'm the same, I'm very glad they exist, and I want them *all* to succeed. I
just want to make sure I'm putting my efforts where they belong. If OSOL is
what becomes SX is what becomes Solaris, then cool! Otherwise, I shouldn't be
here, I should be picking a distro I like and contributing to the overall
direction for it. That's what I'm good at, and that's what I can contribute.
Not code, or direction in technical aspects. That's why I need clarification on
this issue, to make sure my efforts are well places.
Thanks,
David
