OpenSolaris is trying to build a community from scratch. They obviously cannot "destroy" it before it even exists.

No, but they can prevent it from ever existing. That's even more effective!

Hmmmm, you mean the thing they've been building for five years?

You've just touched on another tactic hinted at by the article: If you don't have a community, even if you supposedly started one years ago, and people call you out on it then just claim that you're still building it!
