Hi alan

I guess i misunderstood, OI proposal, I thought the updates were only be 
available   in OI "release" repo for their upcoming
"2012.02 text install"  and the liveDVD would  have it's own repo: /dev.

OI Proposal:

/dev builds will continue as normal, the next one will be Illumos based 
- Desktop users can continue to use our /dev builds, and internet facing 
servers can use the stable branch.
What we'd provide

The release would be aimed for February, and titled "2011.02". It would 
be based
on oi_148. We would only provide the Text Installer and Automated Installer
ISOs.

We would provide security and critical bug fixes only for:

1. OS/Net (The core OS consolidation)
2. A limited set of server oriented packages that have the greatest 
usage and
attack "surface area". The initial list I can think of includes:

     * OpenSSL
     * Sendmail
     * Perl 5.8.4
     * Python 2.6
     * Ruby
     * zip, bzip2, gzip
     * Apache HTTPD 2.2
     * PHP 5.X
     * MySQL 5.X.X
     * Postgresql 8.4
     * Java
     * Tomcat
     * GNU Coreutils
     * GCC
     * RSync
     * ISC BIND
     * Bash
     * Curl
     * wget
