@bsdfan- I do agree with you that snv_129 is the best build of OpenSolaris 
Indiana that I have tried so far, because it was almost like a more polished, 
perfected version of everything that was in 2009.06 (i.e. the best of 2009.06 
plus ZFS deduplication, good bug fixes, lots of minor improvements). 

Retrospectively, it might have been a good idea to do a "feature freeze" at 
that build and then only do bug fixes from snv_129 to 2010.03, especially with 
all the institutional chaos going on with the Oracle merger and what not. 
However, I guess there is no use crying over spilled milk. The main advantage 
vis-a-vis snv_130 and snv_131 is that when doing a clean install of snv_129 on 
to a new system, I only had to work around this zone installation bug:

http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13493

and this apache bug:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6907454

https://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=445511

and I was good to go. Just two bugs to workaround for snv_129! AFAIK that's a 
record for least amount of important bugs in a /dev build so far which is why 
I'm still sticking with snv_129 for now. I might start to re-evaluate the later 
builds after snv_129 later on this weekend but as of right now, I'm still too 
busy doing actual productive work to spend time trying to figure out how to 
work around all the new bugs that started to appear with the radical changes in 
GNOME after snv_130, snv_131 and things like the "face browser login" that's in 
the new GNOME (which I really dislike).
