I agree with you about "opensolaris is dead". And openindiana is another 
thing... But...

One interesting thing in openindiana, and is something very interesting for me, 
is related to how I use it. I come from the Solaris world, running it for 20 
years on some dozens (pluriel) of servers (DNS, mail, directory, ... ) and it's 
my culture. So, having a distribution which, although the differences, has some 
similarities with Solaris interests me, as complete migration to Openindiana 
will be much easier. Just for this reason, I'm much more interested on 
openindiana than the other available Illumos distributions.

I could think differently if intended to use openindiana just on my desktop 
computer or a single home computer.

Just my two cents.
