I think you may be missing several fundamental issues here. One important one is the concept of "skill sets." It isn't as though the results of redirecting those "pie in the sky" people (whoever they may be) towards PCFS would be something you'd necessarily want. However, and more importantly, Sun's funding of various development efforts -- or lack of funding -- really isn't a fit topic to discuss here. This is an OpenSolaris discussion group, not the "Sun please make Solaris work the way I demand" group. The sole exception I'd recognize would be rants about the speed at which the gates are moving into the open, and the way the rest of the tools are being handled. I think great progress is being made there, but at least _that_ is a topic that is of direct interest to the community. (tools-discuss, though, would be the right place for such a rant.) As long as you're going to be complaining about Sun's spending on PCFS, or any other development project, we might as well complain about _your_ spending on the issue, as you're also a member. Clearly you understand the importance, so what's holding you back? Why oh why can't Kaiwai Gardiner spend the pittance it would take to hire a team of engineers to redesign PCFS in OpenSolaris? Your rant may be well taken in terms of the product (I don't really know one way or the other), but it's clearly off-topic on this list. Sun's a contributor, not a short-order cook. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[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 [email protected]
