[i]Actually this "project" is composed of many different projects of their own, 
some of which are comparable to ONNV itself in size and complexity. If you look 
at the projects page, and look at the ONNV change logs, you will see what I 
mean.[/i]

Exactly. 
So we have an nwam that cannot support more than a single interface,
we cannot (semi-officially) have more than one link to the same gateway 
(because that's rocket-science),
we can't print A4 to an A4-sheet from Gnome (at least),
quite a few machines hang at boot,
we have corrupted boot archives at power failures,
we still have unsupported interfaces (wired and wireless),
there are some lacks at multimedia support,
printing hangs some place in between,
(and what not)

But we have a handful of forks, that work neither (as expected). Would it not 
have been the task of managers to focus on 'getting the core system right', 
before someone creates a desktop, storage, or whatever else, distribution?

Uwe,
who can't contribute code, but has raised a lot of practical issues at using 
OpenSolaris as 'desktop production' machines. As long as a Unix sysadmin 
encounters problems thereby, it is more urgent to iron out those problems.
