Mostly deleted. Most of Roland's concern is his scheduling. Sorry, I don't care. Desiring to work on something this weekend, is not one of the reasons for using "self-review".

My "Rome" is all versions of the same basic utilities: */bin/*awk, */bin/*grep,... (well, maybe an exception for oawk). But that's just my expectation. What we need it consensus about what the neighborhoods are. (Please respect John's best practice for e-mail - read the thread to (nearly) complete before responding.

I assume "we" refers to some OpenSolaris discussion. Trust me, I'm not interested in all of the forums. In any case, I only included (2) for the information of the C-team. There is no architectural concern. I thought that was rather clear. - jek3
