The amusement park thing made sense to me. It was illustrating the
Oracle culture. The money had already been spent and so it wasn't a
cost saving exercise. Making a point about "We don't do employee

me as being a whole lot less caring about its employees.
I am sure the point is going to be made endlessly about "But Sun went
out of business" as though everything that was good about Sun is
irrelevant because it went out of business (but that said I clearly
don't believe that).
Nobody said irrelevant. I think that when people refer to the old Sun
days - at least I do - are thinking of "not sustainable". I agree with
most of Nick's points. Generally speaking, these facts should make us to
understand that most people leaving Oracle isn't probably related to
"the future of Java", just to the change of mentality at the corporate.
