Which is fine to some extent, but what that has led to are a lot of quite specific solutions for situations not everyone is in (SmartOS is obviously heavily cloud-oriented) or companies very focussed on selling (not necessarily cheap) support. I'd quite like to see OpenIndiana thrive as a community supported general purpose OS based on Illumos.
