[OpenIndiana-discuss] Recommended way to migrate to a new release?

[Till Wegmueller]

I do see the Argo Technologies (DilOS) people in the Sponsors and Josh 
in the Print screen of the Youtube. But no mention by name. But it's 
2020 who knows what Happened :)

What I known from first hand reports of the Leadership Calls, Illumos 
wants to do the migration ton OpenZFS too but it's a lot of work and 
somebody needs to start it.
