Apologies to everyone for draft one. Sending it was a mistake. (I realized that without letting bygones be bygones, we can not make forward progress, and my statements were only adding fuel to the flames).
We all need to put our differences on the actual naming policy aside to focus our energy on trying to give Sun one last opportunity to address and acknowledge the community's and OGB's disapproval. For me this is the biggest concern. Whether we are for or against anyone's naming proposal, the perception among the OGB and the members is that Sun chose a "less than desirable" method of making it's naming wishes reality. If we are to hope to have Sun treat as a community we need to support the OGB's efforts, in finding an amicable resolution to this immediate firestorm, so that we can reengage Sun in finding a solution that the community as a whole can find acceptable. There have been some drastic options put on the table, as the OGB does not have much recourse, unless Sun steps up to the plate. In my opinion I would say that anything less than complete removal of all OpenSolaris branding on Indiana by the end of today, can be considered a failure, as each extra day that it is there on the website only exacerbates the perception, that discussion is pointless, and the outcome is inevitable.
