Please stop passing around FUD.

If you can cite any point in which we haven't followed the rules, then
name it explicitly.  Otherwise, I would greatly appreciate it if you
could stop bad-mouthing Solaris and OpenSolaris on these lists.  For
someone who claims to care about this project (and who participates in
a lot of its mailing lists), you seem to spend a terrific amount of
your time trying to tear it down.

What on Earth does that have to do with stability rules?

Is it impossible to consider that separate project teams might
possibly have different technical or marketing contraints on their
projects that could lead them to make different implementation
choices?  Or that they may have been designed at different times when
certain options were not available?

Or is there really One True SSL Implementation?

If you've got a concern here, then please do contact the relevant
community groups (they'd be security-discuss and install-discuss,
respectively) or file a bug.

Making wild claims and accusations against Sun's ability to follow its
own rules is at least unhelpful, and probably also a waste of your
time if you're expecting anyone to take these complaints seriously.
