That's what I was referring to regarding opensolaris accounts that don't match their Sun account. We can't (in every case), reliably match the username they putback as to an opensolaris.org account, I'm not even sure we can tell when that situation occurs. We could bulk-email everyone that doesn't match and say "Hey, you", yes, but at that point it almost seems worth just going the wider distribution route anyway. -- Rich
