Erik I thought most people already understood pushing to the public hg
gate had stopped at b147, hence Illumos and OpenIndiana.  it's not
that you're wrong, just that you should be in the hills by now if you
started out running.

the S11 Express release without source and with its new, more-onerous
license than SXCE is new dismal news, and the problems on other
projects and the waves of smart people leaving might be even more
dismal for opensolaris since in the past there was a lot of
integration and a lot of forward progress, but what you were
specifically asking about dates in hg was already included in the old
bad news AFAIK.  And anyway there was never complete source code, nor
source for all new work (drivers), nor source for the stable branch,
which has always been a serious problem.
