Particularly in setting a build environment in a zone under zfs. Kill 3
birds in 1 stone (create template zone, clone it and set up build on
that cloned zone). That's how I deploy all the developers in my team.
Not to build opensolaris, but build our own software, but the concept is
the same.

Are you saying "to get Jim Mauro"? I'd drive pretty much anywhere to
hear him speak. I heard feedback from Sunquebec on a talk he did in
Montreal, and people were utterly impressed. I own a few of his books,
and they rock, seriously, if he's half as good in person as his books,
it is worth it.
