I've been listening closely, and I suspect that Tim is too
since he started the discussion. While it is easy for these
sorts of discussions to devolve into flame wars, it is also
a very good way for us to hear what our developers care about.
This is why it appears that we don't "just walk down the hall
and ask about Solaris". A funny thing about talking to the
Solaris team is that I don't summarize my discussions to our
developer list :-) A key point is that none of the Solaris
team has ever developed for the Cobalt line. So we ask you
folks, and are very happy to hear the replies (and flames).
Since the biggest replies involve security, I will say that
security issues are very important to us. This is the reason
that our most recent releases all include stackguarded versions
of key servers. This reduces the chance of stack overflow
attacks. This is a little thing, but it does help somewhat.
Of course we are always trying to do better. We are working on
some of the other problems that were mentioned.
