Hi,
fee sounds nice. But you have to find somebody to whom to pay it.
Nobody offers manpower helping Jon to build and to assemble releases.
All working on it have full time job (with no plans to change I think).
Offer some dedicated junior team members, not money.
Best regards,
Milan

See the FAQ:
Q: Will OpenIndiana provide security and bug fixes to their stable
releases?
A: Yes, absolutely. We view this as one of the key missing features
that prevented widescale adoption of OpenSolaris in production
environments.
Precisely.
I think a small fee for security fixes (on the order of, say, $50/y)
would appear quite acceptable even to private or academic OI users.

Is out there an OpenIndiana Roadmap?. In particular, I am VERY
interested in a security supported version.
How much are you willing to pay for this service?
I would be willing to pay $100-200/year per system for simple binary
updates and no support calls (other than if simple updates don't
work).
I see that OmniOS offers commercial support ($1000/year for 2
sockets)
but they don't say if that includes security support. The notion of
"support" usually seems to include someone to call to work through
difficult technical issues and not just delivery of updated binaries.
It is really not all that difficult to offer security support. A
couple of people should be able to accomplish it for the whole OS.
