You continue to harp on things which happened before OpenSolaris. The state of the source base is as it was released. When you find things you want to change in that source base it looks to me like some reading starting in the Architecture and Tools community (http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/) would allow you to evaluate possible alternatives, form a plan, and execute that plan. I could see discussing those alternatives here but issues you have with the actual process don't belong here. So issues you have with needing past ARC cases opened or carlifications you need for rules should be aimed at the appropriate process ML. You will get more attention and appropriate answers in the appropriate forums.

Nobody is suggesting that future discussions happen in the dark. There are processes and procedures for interactions with any community. You can effect those if you want although it has been my experience that is best done after attempting to use what is existing so you can speak from experience. Attempting to come at a community of this size without first learnings the basic aspects of how it works doesn't usu. work all that well. mph _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
