ZFS/SMF/zones etc are due to the engineering excellence at Sun though, I'd be interested to know of the innovation/improvements since Oracle slammed the door on OpenSolaris.

You can now start a zone that's compatible with 64-bit Linux, or one that runs a "hardware" hypervisor, or mix and match the two. That sort of thing?

Yes, that's interesting. Not on a par with the DTrace or ZFS projects but an incremental improvement all the same.

Not only is it on par, it's revolutionary. I'm referring to imgadm(1M) and vmadm(1M) in particular.

The guys didn't have to get out of Oracle to reinvent the wheel: the engineering they did is sound and tenable enough for decades into the future, so they built upon it.
