JS> It's already apparent that Sun
JS> doesn't care what the communities opinion is...

While Sun's actions may seem like those of a heartless person, Sun is
a company, not a person, and I can assure you that there are many people
employed by Sun who care a great deal about the community and the opinions
of its members.  Even the executives who made the decisions that triggered
this whole debate care what people in the community think, although they
also have a responsibility to Sun stock holders to care about profits, and
they have a balancing act to perform.  It has been well documented that
many decisions were badly explained and in hindsight many things should
have been done differently, but it does not help to paint with such a
broad brush.  I think it would be more helpful to stop (not picking on
you personally; I mean everyone) with the platitudes and let's all get
back to coding and making OpenSolaris the OS of the future.
