Right. Sun employees, past and present (ignoring Sun-the-company for a moment) are to OpenSolaris what 99% of Linus and everyone who has contributed to Linux or for a particular distro, to any app bundled in that distro, plus those who put the distro together, provided they've been doing this for more than two years, _all_put_together_ are to Linux in general and that particular Linux distro specifically. So simply being able to get a word in, have a little influence on those areas that affect our participation, and by participating become eligible for further opportinities to influence future direction, _are_ democratic and proportional representation for the rest of us. And I too would find it interesting to see the hardware description for those 8 systems.
