You've probably read the discussions about this on OpenSolaris.org.
These discussion have just filtered down to PSARC (or more exactly,
PSARC members). It may be surprising, but yea, we really do talk to
each other.
The proposals on opensolaris.org (which are just that) would center
around "linux familiarity". I don't know of any others which don't
center on this - certainly no serious proposals which don't protect the ABI.
Other than that, your seats are as good as mine. The inclusion above is
just my pithy, one-liner (opps; ETOPITHY). Don't read too much into
this. A less pithy wording (still mine) would be:
*If there should* be a Major release, incompatible change would be
restricted to "linux familiarity".
This particular case doesn't fit that restriction (IMHO), so we
shouldn't be even discussing this, hence derail.
Also, remember that "derail" only means "not appropriate for e-mail
(fast-track) discussion.
Clear(er)?
