It would be so great having Xen again alive and kicking in Illumos and
Openindiana, like it was working fine in Opensolaris releases.
Just developers are needed, to have Xen, beside KVM made available by
Joyent.

I would also like to have OpenHA (High availability) available again,
since latest binaries for it are tighten to Opensolaris 2009.06 (111b)
release. Maybe as a part of Opensolaris stable.

But again it seems to need motivated competent developers and that needs
sponsorship of one of another kind.

One of the basic things that is bugging me is also not having regional
keyboards support in GNOME anymore.
