Not to sound too inflammatory, but then why the hell does it say stuff like this on the openindiana website right next to the download button: "Extraordinary enterprise features that place it on a level above the competition, whether you’re just hosting a blog, providing cloud computing facilities, or running a petabyte storage system." And it's not like I was deliberately switching to some experimental repo, this happened on systems which I installed from exactly said download image from the website and did a "pkg image-update" on them (as, you know, good practice - get the machines patched before they're put into production). I know the website later mentions, in the news section, that it's a development release, but unfortunately there aren't that many (or any) other IPS-based Illumos distros that are a direct continuation of the OpenSolaris OS line, which was closest to my heart. Wasn't there some plan to split up OI development into a dev branch and a stable branch? (Sort of like what Debian does.)
