Many/most of these sources may not work properly or as well due to 
being built against some OmniOS release which does not match the 
OmniOS release the user is using.  The end result is duplicate 
installed software or conflicting packages.  These sources also do not 
necessarily issue new versions when there is a new release, or 
security fix, or provide notifications thereof.

It would be good to add a list of common services that OmniOS does not 
include to the OmniOS web page.  Otherwise the naive new user may 
start with the expectation that basic servers like Apache and BIND are 
included because every other server OS provides these.
