There is no contract or deal here. Roland asked for the opportunity to
start a project to integrate ksh93 into OpenSolaris, and he has been
granted that request by the OpenSolaris community (*NOT* Sun). No one
ever promised that the end result would be taken into ON, SFW, or any
other code base, just that we'd provide Roland the opportunity to work on
this.
Why should anyone start new projects If there is no guarantee that
projects are actually considered for inclusion?
Why should anyone start new mailing lists (ksh93-integration-discuss) If
there is no guarantee that people will actually use them?
There is a guarantee that projects are considered for inclusion.
However, there is NO guarantee that projects will be included.
Note the difference there. Alan said there is no guarantee that ksh93
would be integrated. You misinterpreted what he said.
Now please move this thread back to ksh93-integration-discuss where it
belongs.
cheers,
steve
