I agree.  I can tell you that I would really like to see more resources 
allocated to illumos and bug fixing things in illumos, rather than on 
some interim quasi-supported solution.  However, people are free to 
choose how to spend their time.

I wish more people would get involved and start contributing to 
illumos... and I suspect that the OI folks feel the same way.

It always seems that there are far more people ready with an opinion 
than there are who are willing to actually get some work done.  But 
maybe I'm just being cynical.
