Nice to see DRBD in the first spot (I played a minor role in its
creation). Are there any indications that it will get into the
mainline kernel?

Concerning Ian Murdock's program, for me as a Debian user, I would be
fine with getting a Debian GNU/Solaris, where mainly the kernel, and a
few kernel-centric packages (procps?) are replaced by Solaris
counterparts (and ideally they would work like the GNU or Linux
versions), plus some tools for dealing with the additional
capabilities. Then the two kernels can compete for users based on
their strengths.
