OpenSolaris

OpenSolaris is considering [0] using bzr as their primary VCS.
Evaluation packages have been put together [1], but unfortunately
contain bzr 0.6.2, which I believe doesn't show bzr in the best light,
particularly given where we've gotten since then, and where we're headed.

A comprehensive list of VCS requirements for OpenSolaris is available
[2]; perhaps some advocacy is in order to make the OpenSolars folk aware
of our roadmap and such. Given that the original incentive for bzr
development was, in my understanding, the need for a high-quality DVCS
for managing an operating system, I imagine bzr would be a great
solution for OpenSolaris.
