Hi Alan, Sorry, I was rather vague there. The Open Source Review passed just fine (3 clause BSD). David's Contributor Agreement was signed and submitted many months ago. I've been strongly advised by some people within Sun that I should not request a PSARC review, let alone NV CTeam consideration - all because LSI is supposed to be delivering some code real soon now. When I picked up David's RFE, I was assured that LSI's code would be coming within 2 months, so I held off. When I asked for a status update, I was told it would be another month or two, but that it was definitely coming. To top it off, just yesterday I heard from a colleague that apparently mega_sas has been promised to us - under CDDL - for more than 12 months. Should I ignore the political stuff and proceed to PSARC + CTeam? I'm quite sick and tired of this mess. James C.
