I start shivering to the idea that oracle might drop opensolaris or keep 
developing only the Openstorage required portions of it, and adding to that the 
sudden silence in indiana-discuss from "@oracle.com" & "@sun.com" (last email 
on Friday 9/4), lets hope we will not be forced to move to bsd or linux world ( 
really outdated OSes compared to (open)solaris ). 
Please save the project.

A full fork can only be made if the internationalisation parts of libc
are released as open source. Either we have to call the TOG (The Open
Group) for source license, wait that Roland Mainz releases his version
or find a suitable substitute.
And then forking the hell outta here.
