I never asked the team to make any changes. I asked a question. I'm
expecting an answer that looks something like one of these:
- "Yes, that's a trivial change. We'll do it and feed it upstream."
- "Yes, it sounds like that could be done. We'll discuss it with
the upstream maintainers, but it's not part of this project."
- "No, it can't or shouldn't be done, because <insert reason here>."
Stating that "star" will one day support these features is just beside
the point. It doesn't help determine how or whether this "7z" project
will fit in OpenSolaris. Figuring out whether 7z works with other
ARC-approved Windows-supporting interfaces *does* help.
