It feels worse to be on the OGB and still being able to do so little
about the problem.

Even the obvious alternative (go do a fork...) is a practical
impossibility for the OGB - even though two members are
distro-creators in their own right, the OGB as the *OpenSolaris
Community Governing Board* doesn't have the resources, time or (IMHO)
moral right to hijack the community that Sun/Oracle chartered and
start up what would effectively be an organization that would compete
with Sun/Oracle in developing a Solaris derivitive...

(Which is not to say that someone else couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't...)

Sigh.
