Oddly enough I suggested that about 24 hours ago ;-) From a marketing
point of view best solution is to remove them but failing that disable
them.

I have done development - OK quite a while ago. I agree cultures are
different so let's use the relevant expertise to make a winning
combination. This developer/community divide issue was largely a figment
of Charles' vivid imagination. What I called for was some taking into
account of people's qualifactions and expertise. I doubt any reasonably
minded developer would argue with that. Polarising that into a war over
who has or has not got ultimate control is pretty silly. Sun has
ultimate control, even if it chooses not to exercise that control.
That's the way it is. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
