You need to understand, that the acquisition of Sun is the biggest (in times of
people! And Products!) acquisition ever Oracle has done. Therefore, taking
into account and up-leveling all your old experiences might not lead to the
correct results... ;-)
I'm not cynical, and I try not to become. But the mood on the lists might
force me to become that... ;-) But, I guess, you might not like, what type of
answers you might get then... ;-) So, please try to stay open, at least this
is a list about "Open" Solaris... ;-)
