For clarification: Project Indiana should not be named with OpenSolaris as part of its *NAME*. Nor should it be claimed that it is *THE* community distro [until such time us a naming and branding policy can be finalized.] I did not suggest that Indiana be held to a different standard than other OpenSolaris distros. -Brian P.S. - It is still "a community distro", as a Sun distro still qualifies as a community distro, due to the fact that Sun is a large part of the OpenSolaris community.
