Strongly agreed. Stripping Solaris that far down, much of the
compatibility between versions would be going away as well. Not good at

all.

I understand your concerns. I am not proposing that this be the default. It will just be one set of many "sets" with the default being at least "baseline compatible"


This goal for having smaller packages can also be considered a long term goal.

I think it will be very useful in jump starting the appliance community.

However, I do not want this one thing to be a sticking point. What do you suggest as the smallest build option?

P.S. - I included appliances discuss to see if they have any interest in a mini build with not much more than a kernel.. and a shell environment.
