Case in point - SF15K I'm working on which was bought with UltraSPARC III CPUs, had some faster ones put in, then some UltraSPARC IVs, then some faster ones of those, and then some UltraSPARC T2s. All without downtime, ending up with domains which have different speeds UltraSPARC IVs in them.

It is really good to see all this discussion and speculation about OI and Illumos. I have yet to see anybody flame somebody over an opinion or statement. Most of the statements have been thoughtful, well informed, and well supported arguments. Wonderful example of a strong opensource community.
