Believe me when I write that I completely understand your frustration, simply because it is my frustration also. This has been a weakness of Sun's engineering for a very, very long time, as long as I've known Solaris (1994). Excellent engineers, excellent engineering practices and processes, but NEVER a product that works 100%, with all kinks worked out. Always phenomenal ideas, but never a 100% working product. About 75%, give or take, is what gets released. Is new functionality needed? Yes, of course. But for once, I'd like to have most of the bugs fixed and 100% working software, than 75% working software and tons of new functionality... because in the end, none of it works correctly when all put together. Last week I wrote that it remains to be seen whether Sun's new religion of "release early, release often" turns out to be the correct path. Now, several kernel panics (b109, b110) and countless hours of hacking later, I'm really beginning to believe "release early, release often" is an approach Google should be whacked on the head for at least 10 times a day, and whoever copies Google... well, fill in the rest yourself. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
