I agree with Doug as well.  I think that transitioning from one vendor =
tree to the other is the right thing to do.  Unless we have good, =
concrete reasons not to do this, I think the default assumption should =
be this is a good idea.

I believe that svn merge -c XXX will work because of how mergenotes =
work, but I'd appreciate confirmation from our repo masters.

I think that having the two different sources is a good thing, should =
OpenSolaris ever come back to live and be a viable source of imports.  =
We need to keep that option open, unless doing so has a real, =
demonstrable harm.
