I just mentioned osol as part of the ZFS appliance stack,because if is it working why should you change it? In this case,it seems like a big business deal to change the OS of product,that already exists in the market.. I can imagine the deal of necessary Q/A tests to make sure that OSOL could be replaced by any other OS on the appliance. However I totally agree,that when someone goes for an appliance solution,that far more important issues to take look into,rather than to focus on the implementation details choose n by the vendor.. But,I as a Sun,Oracle and now Oracle/Sun customer,still think that Oracle Enterprise Linux,Oracle Solaris and Oracle Opensolaris can be income sources,both for through vendor and for he customer..it all ends up on choosing the best tool available for the job.
So like i said,what do I know about business...

It makes OSOL an "implementation detail". The whole point of having appliances is that it is a black box. The user should only care about the cost and the benefits, the vendor cares about how to implement them. -- blu It's bad civic hygiene to build technologies that could someday be used to facilitate a police state. - Bruce Schneier -----------------------------------------------------------------------| Brian Utterback - Solaris RPE, Oracle Corporation.
