Sweet:) And a big thanks for writing what appears to be clear and straightforward documentation; IMO that's an area that the illumos community has historically struggled with. And seeing a new source release talking about consolidations gives me the warm fuzzies, even if this does seem to depart from the traditional gate paradigm unless I'm seriously misreading the repo organization here.

Some (mostly tooling) questions:

- Why gmake? Especially since dmake is needed later anyways?

- Instructions say run rustup with bash explicitly; is that a defect in upstream, or is the local sh not completely posix compatible?

- How is this developed internally? Do Oxide folks run illlmos workstations or is this all developed in Virtual machines or SSHed to servers?

- Why MPL? GPL compatibility?
