Who is "you" here? Sun contributors are not the Borg and in a community they should be treated according to their individual merits and vices and not be hold in kin liability. > There's still bugs not fixed or cared about because it doesn't affect > *you* (but only people outside) So you want to have control over the way that Sun manages its resources? Thats not how it works in _any_ OSS project. If you would stomp into #gentoo, #debian or #ubuntu and request your personal itch to be scratched you would be laughed out the door. Well, on ubuntu you might be offered a support contract, but that is different from what you are suggesting here. > Or patches lingering around for no reason because no one cares about. That would be a different issue. But there are also non-Sun domain developers, so this is not specific to Sun contributors -- its plain old lack of ressources. > That's not true.

Finally, I do not like statements implying "You are at Sun and thus not part of the community.". Actually, that is quite an unfair discrimination.
