So I think we can accept OmniOS as new distros list member, if that'sdesired and Dan would represent OmniOS on the list.
As an existing list member with familiarity with the illumos distros, this makes sense to me. Membership for the other distros in the illumos family (SmartOS, OpenIndiana, Tribblix, etc.) would also make sense. A membership for illumos itself would make sense if things like the CPU speculative execution vulnerabilities were shared on this list, but they historically haven't been, and as recently discussed, their long embargo period means they probably shouldn't be, at least not until everything is ready to release - which means kernel & hypervisor makers need to get notified of the changes they need to make via other channels (which the major CPU vendors already have). Mitigations that require only microcode updates would fit the distros list, but since the CPU vendors have their own notification channels for the other issues, they've been using those instead. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith () oracle com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris
