Hello, guys, can we stop debating something that is not related to OI on this mailing lust? I know that many people still care about Solaris and what happens to it, but please get over it. It's been 7 years since illumos and Solaris separated and illumos chose different path. illumos/OpenIndiana has it's own future and instead of debating Oracle business decisions, go search illumos bug tracker and report / fix bugs, write blog posts about illumos/OpenIndiana etc.
If you wish to debate Oracle Solaris, use different mailing list for that. This mailing list is used for debating OI-related topics. Thanks for uderstanding!
