Yes, probably. I think current setup with Sun being in control of
virtually everything isn't  healthy.
When Sun will decide to pull the plug (and I have no doubt Sun (the
corporate) will do it one day, whatever the reason will be) we'd
better have something not just prepared and ready, but rather working.

Well, I was going to answer that sf.net doesn't allow one to choose
CDDL as a license covering the hosted project, but I just checked it
and apparently they allow it now.

Still, having community site focused on OpenSolaris can be beneficial
(see above)
