Having a bit of a clearout, and found an old copy of Opera for Solaris. It still runs on Tribblix, but as it's over 13 years old virtually no sites using https will work (and I dare say that "modern" websites wouldn't work even if I could connect). Well-written simple websites that allow http work just fine, of course. Still a bit of a blast from the past.
There are almost 1400 software packages in Tribblix (in addition to the 500-odd packages in illumos itself). If each piece of software just did 1 release a year, then that's about 4 updates a day, a constant stream of updates.
In practice releases are more frequent on average. I seem to be averaging 10 commits a day to the main build repo. Fortunately most are trivial version bumps, which keeps the effort low.
I've recently mostly been using mvi (Minimum Viable Illumos) to create application archives for zones. But I just went back and fixed things so you can create lightweight application ISOs that can boot in bhyve too.
@ptribble - strange issue, trying to install #Tribblix in a #VirtualBox VM, the installation process fails because no hard disk is detected: only the CD drive is seen by the system.

I have tried fiddling with the IDE order (moving the DVD to secondary IDE), but no results so far.
