When they were engineering driven, I was their biggest fan. But that has not been the case for at least six years now, and possibly longer. Now they are just marketing driven, and Sun is infamous for having notoriously bad marketing which does not understand the product they are trying to market, nor do they understand the target audience they are marketing to, at all. This is not something that has happened over night, it has been this way for the past twenty years or so in the history of SUNW. > In the end, we need to move on in a constructive way. > They're not > oing to axe IPS and replace it with SysV packages or > anything else. > It's here to stay.

How about implementing Flash(TM) or the equivalent of compressed flash archives? How about migrating the Python code to C? How's that for constructive suggestions? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
