I said nothing about 2.4.x patches/upgrades for existing products. I said our _next_ (and future) products will be based on 2.4.x. Please believe me when I say that all of us in the field (systems engineers, sales people, etc) have been begging, pleading, whining, asking, groveling, etc for features and kernels from newer products to be backported to older products. The problem lies with the sustaining engineering team and their resources. Our argument has always been that yeah, it will be one hard upgrade to get out, but then the sustaining job actually will get easier, with one common set of applications, kernels, etc, across all hardware platforms. Unfortunately, to date, those in a position to do something about it haven't. And that's about all I can contribute on that front. Now, back to discussing security-related issues... :) -- Bruce Timberlake Sun Cobalt Technology Engineer Sun Microsystems, Inc. _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
