I find it simply phenomenal that I can now communicate *directly* with the kernel engineer responsible for the project, product or technology in (Open)Solaris. It's thrilling, to me anyway, that I don't have any *layers* of "communication" in between. I can discuss and share my concerns and interests directly with the person responsible and involved, and I can learn a lot too! On top of that, engineers and therefore products benefit directly from interested parties' feedback. What better way to make Solaris, and OpenSolaris a better product than to be able to directly listen to your users, team members, and ultimately, customers, without any *interpretation* from someone in the middle? It's great, great, great! And did I mention that it's simply great?
