That's a misrepresentation of what has been proposed. What has been proposed is that the constitutional role be separated from the operational role. That's not at all the same as abolishing the constitutional role, although based on the experience of the last 18 months I sometimes feel there might even be a case to be made for doing exactly that... :-\ > Everyone seems keen on dissolving anything having to do with an umbrella > community in favor of balkanization and silos...

I think people are fed up with all the constitutional nonsense. Nobody is suggesting anarchy, nobody is suggesting throwing away the Solaris culture. What is suggested is that people behave sensibly, work together and just get on with doing stuff in (relative) peace and quiet. I think you really are rowing against the tide - sorry. -- Alan Burlison --
