I have mixed feelings about this. I absolutely loathe the old, buggy, incompatible Solaris userland, and for me, Solaris can't die fast enough. OpenSolaris however seemed like a step in the right direction, keep the kernel and all the good things that come with it (DTrace, ZFS, etc) but drop in the GNU userland. I'd much rather Oracle kill Solaris proper and work on pushing OpenSolaris forward.
