Given that Oracle's acquisition of Sun is now all, for all practical
purposes, a done deal, does anybody know what's going to happen to
OpenSolaris? Oracle is not exactly known as being friendly to open
source software and given that the SPARC+Solaris+Oracle stack is
likely to be at the core of Oracle's business model, I'm worried that
OpenSolaris is going to go away. This seems especially likely given
that Oracle PR folks didn't even mention OpenSolaris when they
discussed the future of various Sun FOSS projects earlier today. I've
never really used it in a serious context, but I have experimented
with it and would be quite saddened if Oracle were to kill it off!
