If Sun is trying to force this into the wrong direction, it may be
that people start thinking that Sun just tries to outsource work
to the community.
I believe that we need a new and better idea for a filesystem hierarchy standard
on OpenSolaris and as much integration as possible.
/opt/sfw is not integrated software but extra software.
I should note that things in the OSS community do not start by talking about
them but by doing something. Why is there no place to look at the whole source
tree that is used by Sun to create /opt/sfw packages? People don't like to buy
a cat in a bag, they like to see whether it makes sense to work on the
current /opt/sfw build system or whether it makes more sense to start
from scratch or with a new idea like Blastwave.
