OpenSolaris's Imminent Demise

Hi Everyone,

I would like to ask you about OpenSolaris's imminent disappearance under the ongoing Oracle stewardship. How do you feel about it? I have been an active user of this OS since its beginning and have deployed it in my educational institution across 7 campuses on more than 700 machines. I love its features especially ZFS.

Now I am beginning to get a little bit paranoid. Is their any fork happened already or in progress which I am not aware of (being an avid Slashdotter, I can't remember one)?

Your input on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
