At this point, it is clear you guys were not paying attention to the contents of the thread. The disagreement is over the community having the ability to work on a branch that is not stable. All of the Solaris releases would be on a stable branch that has the exact same interface stability requirements as it does right now, for the same reasons that you described. The difference is that the community *outside* Sun can do visible work within OpenSolaris rather than having to create private forks of the community, and Sun could back-port the compatible portions of that work to the stable tree according to its own review processes.
If you think OpenSolaris in its entirety should be limited to what is essentially a single stable branch of revision control, then you should include that up front in all of the governance work and it should have been a primary component of all the marketing efforts that Sun has made about this project. ....Roy _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
