I tried several times, but I was unable to read it that way at all. What he said was that it's subject to change (ARC review would logically be one source of change, but there are many), and that instead of the "black" development that Sun has done in the past -- where the development team hides behind a firewall and doesn't bother showing the work in progress, or pays only lip service to it -- this team is actually throwing half-finished items out there for you to work with as you see fit. How that could possibly devolve into an assumption that it'll all pass ARC review cleanly or that it merits sarcasm looks confused to me. > I was looking to have some questions answered, but I really didn't want > this to devolve into an argument or a fight.

Happy to answer questions about the process if you want, but there's really no need for sarcasm here. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
