It's being posted from the Jive forum, and we cannot prevent it. (can
we?) I just added that email address into our discard list. And I sent
emails to Eric Boutilier and request to remove them and suspend that
account.

We did have issues/proposals posted on vconsole-discuss at opensolaris.org
and the project webpage, and even the bfu archives. We'll still post
other proposals/discussions. Your comments are always welcome, and it's
a part of OpenSolaris.

I completely agree with Alan.

I have also another question - when switching from X session to text console do 
we have to save all gfx memory card contents somewhere (like 256MB or more)? 
What memory overhead vconsoles will provide?

They certainly should have, we don't need another devname.
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/devname).  The only opensolaris.org 
project I know of that went back into Nevada without *any* content on 
opensolaris.org and with a single, spam, post on its list.

Normally I'd suggest checking the vconsole-discuss list instead,
but it seems to be mostly spam - much higher than other OpenSolaris
lists for some reason (is it not spam filtered or set up with the
same admin settings as the rest of us who have to filter spam on our
lists?).

I do know the team has been working on it a lot, but certainly needs
to get more of that work out in the open.   There's been a lot of
design discussions and discussions on interactions with components
such as X, gdm, etc. they've held internally that should be held in
the open to be a true part of OpenSolaris.
