whose pace of development is as glacial as Solaris's is.

Although I'm sure the number of commits into the Linux kernel source base is larger than that of OpenSolaris, to call the pace of development of OpenSolaris "glacial" is misleading. Have you taken a look at the commits going into the OS/Net consolidation to see the changes taking place?

Of course, it might be interesting to break down the reason for all of the various commits taking place in both projects. How many are new features and other enhancements? How many are due to earlier changes introducing a regression or not being complete?
