I see your point, but you also have to understand that sometimes too many
helpers/opinions are a bad thing. There is a set "core" of ZFS developers who
make a lot of this move forward, and they are the key right now. The rest of us will just
muddy the waters with conflicting/divergent opinions on direction and goals.
In the real world we would be called customers, you know the people who
actually use the product.
Right. And in the real world, customers are generally not involved with
architectural discussions of products. Their input is collected and
feed into the process, but they don't get to sit at the whiteboard with
developers as the work on the designs.
But they are involved in the discussions around which features should be
there, and help to prioritise those features.
I guess my fear is the external ZFS developers have adopted the Oracle
rather than the OpenSolaris development model. We all know where that
leads....
I hope my fears are misplaced.
