[OpenIndiana-discuss] The name: "OpenIndiana" (part II)

[Christopher Chan]

Gabriel,

Grow up. It is pretty clear that few are interested in seeing a name 
change and I personally like how OpenIndiana connects things back to the 
roots of Illumos. If you do not like it, you are free to start your own 
distribution and call it whatever you like.

Now if you wanted to contribute packages, had good quality contributions 
and you are being excluded for some non-technical reason, then you would 
have a case. Just because James was a bit more direct than others does 
not mean he is trying to shut you up but is pointing out that this 
change name thing is concluded.
