But Solaris != OpenSolaris. Right? Or am I missing something.
Just because something is one way in Solaris doesn't mean it has to be
that way in (any particular distribution of) OpenSolaris.
Solaris is one distribution. It's Sun's Distribution. I don't think it's
correct to call them applying their rules (rules which it sounds like
have been used since Solaris was started) to how they manage it.
The community will have it's say in the other distributions that are
created from OpenSolaris. If one or more of those distributions wants to
do what you're suggesting, then it can. And (while I haven't read the
gonverning documents, I'm pretty sure) Sun can't do anything to stop that.
I'm not surprised there are disagreements like this appearing in this
community. It has to be expected that this many people are not going to
agree on everything. I think that's why it was smart to plan for
multiple distributions. It leaves rooms for groups of like minded people
to do things differently.
I think we have to expect more things like this in the future. And if
Sun does what it thinks needs to be done in Solaris, I don't see it as
being heavy handed.They're just one sub-community (with their own way of
working out these disagreements internally to their group) within the
larger community.
