Ok,
So people that are not from Sun and community members, and that were on 
the Governing board of Opensolaris, did not actually want for 
Opensolaris as distribution of that name (and other things that made it 
existing) to even exist?

So dissolving governing board and stopping Opensolaris was what they 
wanted all the time, just it was needed for Sun employees to disappear?
I would like to understand why distribution that was already in some 
snv_134 or something, after 111b/2009.06 release, could not just be 
renamed and moved on like nothing happened?

OpenIndiana came after that and I don't see too much of people 
previously inside Opensolaris community stepping up, _except_ those 
great people that actually made Openindiana possible.

If Opensolaris/Openindiana (that gave birth to S11) technical concept is 
not under likings of "hard core" old community members that started it all,
then what kind of illumos distribution actually is?
