Of course it is related to OI and there is no other list to mention it 
on actually, that is closer to the topic.
I don't think asking people not to discuss and talk is positive 
community influence, asking people to shut up is an negative influence.

Oi iteslf uses IPS for packages, uses Xorg and many other things are 
shared with Oracle Solaris open source released components.
It is that Solaris supported nature and shared code up to illumos birth, 
makes it very interesting topic for OI/illumos, sharing in most cases 
users pool, where some people might run illumos/Openindiana on some 
machines or Solaris on others.

> It's been 7 years since illumos and Solaris separated and illumos chose different path. illumos/OpenIndiana has it's own future and instead of debating Oracle business decisions, go search illumos bug tracker and report / fix bugs, write blog posts about illumos/OpenIndiana etc.

On the other hand, if there is no reaction to media bashing on Solaris, 
next time, random writer start to bash OI or illumos there would be no 
one to stop the flood of Linux drones.

illumos and Openindiana does not compete with Solaris, they each have 
they use cases and support models.

Linux is illumos competition and Linux drones are bashing everything 
non-Linux on internet news comments, so there is even more then need to 
react to media bias.

I would actually rather select Oracle Solaris then some corporate Linux 
distro if I am forced on having dead-serious mission-critical support 
contracts.
Recognizing benefits of Linux, but even after more then 8 years since 
Opensolaris 2009.06, usability for serious use of any Linux distribution 
is far below Openindiana/illumos.

Feel free not to respond if find topic uninteresting.
For younger audience directing not to talk on public mailing lists is 
out of scope of administration and forums are not the mailing lists. 
Messages/posts can not go back and be deleted and one can not "lock 
thread" or topic, so that is what one needs to get over, getting away 
people's freedom of expression and freedom of talk.
