Have you considered seperating in packages and give the freedom to build
what ever you want (kernel, libc, base utils) like GNU tools? By following
this method, you give more freedom to external distribution.
This is the wrong way to go.
ON is not even complete. Why do you believe are flagdays needed?
This is a result of inconsistences in ON because it is incomplete,
you need a build machine that is very similar to the just crerated
ON release.
This is not Linux but UNIX and if you like to compare, look at *BSD.
*BSD have flag days for similar reasons to Solaris -
when you change (for example) the major number of libc,
chances are things will care about this.
