I think this project is incomplete. Removal without replacement doesn't seem like the right response to having the upstream open source project merely shutting down. Instead, I'd expect that we'd at most mark Obsolete in S10, and then remove in the current release when the new, replacement project is ready, and (perhaps) there's some sort of transition story that can be told. We've got a huge number of open source bits in OpenSolaris that have either a long-dead upstream or no real maintainer to speak of. And there are others that were considered "dead" for years only to come back to life later. Why is this one special? Why does removal from OpenSolaris necessarily follow an announcement like that? -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
