OmniOS and OI are OpenSource. Why not take over this from OmniOS to keep
them more in sync?
On Linux Debian and Ubuntu are big enough to be independent while very
similar. On
Illumos everyone may be too small alone in the long run.
IMHO No that RHEL is in bed with IBM, and as a result; RHEL, and CentOS
taking
quite a different path. OI is likely to see a greater influx of users. A
quick
look on the CentOS mailinglists/forums indicates thier userbase is LIVID
about
the changes. The was not one single positive note about the change.
tl;dr
A lot of CentOS, and as a result, RHEL users; are abandoning ship. They'll
all
be going *somewhere*. Maybe it's to OI. :-)

What you want is to make a OmniOS extra respoitory (git) with GUi packages.
That would factually mean abandoning OI and the Goal of a General Purpose
OS. That would be an acquisition not a merger.
