Why would I spend all that time and energy participating in ANOTHER list controlled by Oracle, when they have shown they have no qualms about eliminating it with basically 0 warning, at their whim? I'll be sticking to the illumos lists that I'm confident will be turned over to someone else should the current maintainers decide they no longer wish to contribute to the project. On the flip side, I think we welcome all Oracle employees to participate in that list should corporate policy allow you to. --Tim
