Agreed, SGE/OGE has nothing to do with ZFS, unless you believe there's an
oracle culture which might apply to both.

The only thing written by me, as I recall, included links to the original
official announcements.  Following those links now, I see the archives have
been decomissioned.  So there ya go.  Since it's still in my inbox, I just
saved a copy for you here...  It is long winded, and the main points are:
SGE (now called OGE) is officially closed-source, and sunsouce.net
decommissioned.  There is an open source fork, which will not share code
development with the closed-source product.
