We should never, under any circumstances, defend regression. Regression is an error. A severe and serious error. Dealing with regression has been one of the main selling points of Solaris. If Solaris starts regressing now, it will have lost one of the most crucial competetive edges. We should also stop defending every bad decision and hiding behind "engineering" for everything that just plain isn't right: making that installer Java-based and Java-dependent was just plain bad decision and it caused regression. Rather than hiding behind claims that Java is great and that it's "engineering", the responsible person(s) should admit the error and fix it.
