This has something to do with Suns inability to innovate. Sun failed
to innovate the command line utilities for 17 years. Now Roland came
up with innovations and as soon as the first reports about fixable
bugs appear you demand a pull-out.

line utilities? Which energy did Sun invest into these commands in the
past?

Let's revert ZFS, Dtrace, SMF and Crossbow until their code is bug
free, shall we?

He who is innocent shall throw the first stone.
