Hi folks, If you do not use the "sngl" brand in SmartOS, either with Joyent-provided images or your own images, you can skip this mail.
As part of ongoing improvements to vmadm(1M), as well as SmartOS and SDC generally, we are investigating removing the "sngl" brand from the operating system. The feature was an experiment in providing a better experience for users familiar with Linux environments; this effort was subsequently supplanted by work on the LX brand, which provides the ability to run unmodified Linux software in a zone. There have been no new "sngl" datasets published for around two years (since late 2013). There are no "sngl" instances in the Joyent Public Cloud. It's reasonably clear that there has not been much usage of, or call for, the "sngl" brand. So, if you _are_ using "sngl", please speak up! Your feedback will help us set an appropriate timetable for removing the feature. Thanks. -- Joshua M.
