Ridiculous: Always blame your loyal customers for being whatever ... And a system that was current until a while ago is now not even good enough for a "felt" pseudo-benchmark?

At release? "pkg" does not ship in a product yet? 2008.05, 2008.11 and 2009.06 are not products? You can not buy support contracts for them? I never learn out. Conary was ready in 2007 (and since 2004/2005). Also consider Moinak Ghosh's suggestions. And thos of Nexenta and other, too ... > We have > more features to add and more optimization to perform.

Your mind is not open for unbiased discussions about facts. Ok: Your customers. %m
