If Project Indiana had no Solaris 8-10 users and 5% of Linux users, it would
still be a success. Meanwhile Solaris 8-10 and 11 would still exist for use.
I don't think Project Indiana's primary goal needs to be retaining existing
Solaris users. I would place that goal pretty far down the list. Solaris
users have Solaris, they don't need another OS. I think the primary goal of
Project Indiana needs to be building the best OS possible to gain the largest
market share possible. Coming along for that ride is entirely optional. :)
Sorry, but such a decision would only serve to split the community
between Solaris users. What you suggest is exclusive rather than
inclusive. There is no good reason that one system cannot be created
for both users.
You also imply that Solaris users are somehow inferior, and that they
do not want the best OS possible. I disagree.
