I would actually pay something.

But consider this:

* I can't deploy OpenIndiana without some kind of security updates.

* I have tons of clients evaluating OpenIndiana, being amazed by ZFS
and DTrace, but can't consider seriously since there is no security plan.

An OpenIndiana future goes thru an official OI release, with security
fixes for a while. Those markets are, currently, closed for OI.

About how costly this could be, Red Hat is a huge business. And we
could follow a major Linux release, like Debian or Ubuntu, to track
security notifications/patches. Maybe even a community security
supported version.
