Let us not forget that the process we speak of is the same process that made Solaris into the great product that many of us think it is, today. It's hard to critisize a process that has turned out such a great product.
An interesting process point in support of this: way back before we did the pilot, we went around and talked to a bunch of customers, ISVs, partners, etc. Whenever I spoke with engineers and managers from enterprise customers about our plans to open up Solaris, they generally immediately shot back with this: "We love that you are opening the source, but we don't want you to toss out your development methodology and all the processes that make Solaris great." Or words to that effect. This came up in virtually every meeting. But, since we always planned to /open/ the process, not toss it, we could easily answer this question. Implementing the change is another matter, I realize, but I also see that very much on the horizon. Which is cool.
