All this waiting only kills momentum and drives people away. Oracle has to come clean and *explicitly* detail its vision for OpenSolaris and what part it plays in their business plan to profit over Solaris. We need more than "we'll keep supporting it". I'm told Sun was on a path towards great openness. Is Oracle committed to that or are we going to go backwards ? Right now we can argue as much as we want (over 100 replies now) and it won't matter unless we get an official word from them. Otherwise we are only trying to draw a roadmap and long term plans by picking bread crumbs. I sent an email to oss.oracle.com asking for the name of their open source manager or someone that was in charge of community relationship and that has gone unanswered for a week now. I'm not really surprised to see all the FUD we are seeing. -- Giovanni
