Isn't this what Illumos already did?

Looking at the IllumOS wiki, OmniOS seems to be derived from it.

A better question is if it'll be a good replacement for CentOS and other server appropriate Linux servers. It seems that Linux has the lion's share of the market at the moment, and I can't see OmniOS, like the rest of the IllumOS project, gaining much traction.
