Since they are closed, you can't fix bugs in them, port them to other architectures, try to increase the performance of them, learn from them, etc. I'm not convinced all the closed_bins are somehow perfect and free of any bugs or performance enhancement opportunities :) -Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
