Like it or not, something dead for 2 years and unmaintained maybe called
"legacy" but I can use "vintage" if you like.
I can also call it "Château OpenIndiana 2013 Vendange Tardive" or whatever,
does not change the current developments.

Moving from consolidations to oi-userland, dropping legacy and obsolete
components, moving away from SUN compilers etc... make 151a and Hipster two
different animals.
Additional philosophical questions: if a tree has several branches, is it
divided ? does your self from 3 years ago identifies with your current self
? etc...

If you want to call "Development", something that is not developed, fair
enough: come up with a better taxonomy, I have personally no strong opinion.


I propose "vintage", "indie" and "hipster" to stay rock'n roll.

I updated the page to point to MATE's Wiki page according to Ken's message
so my reply is in no way unrelated.
