The answer depends on when people decide to stop complaining about
missing features in the work-in-progress that is the OpenSolaris
distribution, and instead start working on providing those features.

Seriously: I'm not on the Indiana team, but, as someone who has talked
with those folks, I know that they're keenly aware of these
shortcomings.  The work is not done.  It's not finished yet.  You're
looking at a work in progress.  There are known feature gaps -- among
them are many enterprise-class features.  They're not being
"forgotten."  The issues won't be ignored.  The people doing this work
just aren't that foolish.

It takes time to do work.  It takes more time if you have to run
through a gauntlet of people throwing stones.

I'm almost hoping we can get back to arguing about GPLv3 or Sun's
buy-out.
