I think I like the "Project Emancipation" title
However, as for starting with all of closed bins, as I mentioned in the initial proposal, libc_i18n.a comes first. That bit *MUST* be reimplemented & shoved in to ON as fast as possible. The rest is not as important in as far as you can, theoretically, build a mostly working opensolaris distro without them.
The reason why I posted a libc_i18n rewrite is because I don't want to have
that finished, waiting for the rest of the emancipation project to finish
before getting it in to ON. As soon as libc_i18n is done, I want it upstreamed

There are currently two components that are needed before one can do an
open build. The first one is one that has been talked a lot about, the
other is only required on SPARC, that is the sparc disassembler.
If you want a project that has as it's goal to be able to build the
opensolaris sources without encumbered binaries, AND you want this to be
able to be done on both SPARC and x86, then both of these need to be
addressed.
I knwo that SPARC is not generally popular here, but if we are going to
do something, it needs to be done correctly.
