How would you propose to test software other than to put it into production use? Writing
test cases and running tests will only get you so far. There are a number of business
ventures based on Illumos. Those certainly qualify as "production". I'd also
point out that the starting point for OI was a professionally written production system,
not a student project.
I run OI on two "production" systems, my internet access system and my NAS.
My primary workstation runs Solaris 10 u8 and will until I get a sufficient comfort level
about OI. That said I'm pretty comfortable w/ OI. My OI issues all seem to be X
related, though it's hard to separate X from Firefox. The base OS appears to be quite
solid.
A periodic summary of the issues preventing the announcement of a stable release would be
interesting. It might motivate some people to work on them. Often things that do not
affect most users can cause delays. I'd particularly expect considerable reluctance to
announce "stable" in a Solaris derived community. There are quite a few grey
beards around here.

Thanks for sharing you're are having success running OI
in a production environment.
However I need to follow my policy.
BTW oi.mail-list might confuse people and lead them to think that it was
something other than just your email account. I'd like to suggest you pick
another name that doesn't include oi or openindiana.
Thank you for your suggestion. I see your point,
it's changed :-)

treat software marked as "dev", "current",

being production ready.
I agree it could of been of
number of things, However it looks it was fixed. :-)
