All right. I did not want to open a can of worms in such a fashion; and 
I certainly did not wish in any way to impune the efforts and successes 
by yourself and Derek and others. If I did so; then I humbly offer my 
sincerest apologies to you both (and anyone similarly affected). Saying 
that the page "sucks" was indeed out of order; and reprehensible to 
state as such on my behalf. I (as the Community does) value you 
both(/all) very highly in terms of ability/integrity and without 
question commitment.

However, Bill summed it up really by saying (paraphrased WRT OpenSolaris 
Developer Preview) "Please give it a shot but please don't assume it 
represents the future of openSolaris". Indiana represents one single 
potential future of OpenSolaris - _the_ only future of OpenSolaris is 
surely how the codebase evolves, how the Opensolaris Community 
grows/evolves, and how distros evolve from the seed that has been planted.

If I have caused offence, to reiterate, I apologize unreservedly.

Regards. Sean.
