Common courtesy? I fully understand that people want to be kept "in the loop," but in this case I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're getting at. Someone made a mistake. A simple mistake. He's sorry and unlikely to make it again. I do not understand what purpose it would serve to hang him out to dry. The important things, at least in my estimation, are (A) that the mistake was caught quickly and we (collectively) didn't foist broken bits on everyone, (B) that the alert went out quickly so that members of the community weren't just left wondering, "hey, where's the release?" and (C) that we've been honest about the nature of the blunder. By your words here, you're making it sound to me as though someone might be hiding something. That's the part that really disturbs me. Other than the name of the person who fumble-fingered a script (which I think is wholly irrelevant), I don't see that anything at all has been held back. There are humans involved in each step of the process. Unfortunately, they do in fact make mistakes sometimes. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
