Well, that's good to hear - I was just being impatient then.

What's the difference between Linus forcing and Sun forcing - Well isn't that an obvious one - Sun is a company with commercial interests and Linus has proved himself to be a unbiased individual - he carefully avoids being employed by any Linux vendor which is a well known fact.

You are on the CAB which again is appointed by Sun and so far looks to me is driven more by Sun's interests and concerns rather than the CAB's. (2 months is enough time for anyone with technical skills and attitude to set up a Source control system and starting to involve people to contribute code - the fact that all of the promised things are still in the clutches of bureaucracy proves just that - Sun is putting a lot of overhead into the process guarding it's own concerns and interests.)

But Sun is doing just that; that's what the CAB is for. And we're
included in the conversation Sun's development process team is having
about how to move the code to a more open development model.

It's not a quick process, and it's not an easy one. But it IS happening.
