Critically, though: Solaris does _not_ have the LX brand. It was removed before the gate closed and has not been reinstated as far as I'm aware. We'll only ever be able to carve out our own identity -- in Google results, the press, and everywhere else -- if we specifically stop referring to our thing as Solaris. It absolutely is not and has not been for some time. This is not pedantry, but rather a critical and positive point of difference and our messaging and discourse should reflect that.
