Yes: That was exactly my point! Was this unclear? I responded to Edward Martinez, exactly because I did not agree with him in that new context. Of course partially he is right. But it is Oracle(Management´s) very very own fault. The put gazoline into that fire! By just doing n o t h i n g. Didn´t I state this? Look, what I wrote here: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2010-April/007787.html ^^^Hi, very well said! I could not agree more here! I believe, that Oracle's continued lack of communication, combined with absence of a roadmap, plus non-shipping OS2010.03 (with no single public statement!!!), plus discontinuation of selling support contracts for everything past Sol10_10/09, plus cancelling the Free-ship LiveCD, plus plus plus .... all that is _extremely_ harmful to OpenSolaris. To OpenSolaris as a distro, as a code base, as a community, as a market, to everything except LinUX.^^^ %martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
