I really do hope it it like you say.
Nevertheless, I have t say it is very difficult to work this way.
I am talking OpenSolaris (but many things apply to Solaris as well).
1) No roadmap (do you have seen one recently)
2) Support for "new" hardware is still in development branches (new SAS 2
controllers from LSI in svn_134)
3)svn_134 has still lots of bugs/issues (at least in the GUI): NIC
configuration is a pain; better go via command line
4) some key components (i.e. ramdisk implementation) have severe performance
issues (a ram disk running at 500MB/s on DDR3 1333 is slower than working on a
striped physical disk set; same ramdisk on Linux on same hw runs at several
GB/s)
We all know no perfect software is there (the perfect one is the one that never
comes out....), but short releases cycles (with roadmap) allow community to
test and contribute and to make things more stable and better performing.
Instead no svn releases after 134 are out there and no idea if/when they will
come and what they will contain...
