Checklists navigated

The project that I mentioned a little while back navigated our engineering processes (or, rather, we steered it through them) and integrated into the Solaris development release last week. Now it's getting a real shakedown as more and more people in the company get access to the bits. And it will hit the various Beta programs and Software Express shortly.

They've found a few bumps and rough edges, but nothing we can't address. We're even finding that it's straightforward to keep the hardened machines hardened. And everyone's moving fast again, as we don't have to keep our many, many changes in our heads anymore—people will tell us directly what's wrong/imperfect/improvable.

The project? It's the service management facility, which is the other major technology comprising S10's Predictive Self-Healing feature.
