Making commits the right way is something that is really important if you like 
to make a project able to act as an upstream.

Illumos currently is not a nice upstream, importing commits from Illumos into 
Schillix-ON is a hard job for most commits as the commits usually combine 
unrelated tasks. If you like to import one of the sub-tasks but cannot import 
another because it is incompatible, deltas need to be imported manually on a 
file base.

In order to act nicely to potential downstrams, Schillix-ON tries to do it's 
best to avoid bundling unrelated tasks.

One of the worst things in the ksh93 cluster commit is that there is a 
Copyright date change in files that otherwise stay the same. This is something 
I can try to ignore when reading the hg exort output, but it poisons the webrev.

I will probably need at least a week in order to do at least a basic review.
