ah. well that goes back to the old, foundational issue of, "is it sane
to attempt to support two codebases, via the same support system?"

The answer I always found, was "no". due to supportability issues.

and then it gets back to what Dennis was SUPPOSEDLY going to do, and
split off a mirror tree dedicated to opensolaris based packages.
Which does actually make sense. If people want to put in the split
effort.
Too bad Dennis decided he wanted to try to take everyone with him to
the new one, rather than do a fair split of effort.
