Thank you sincerely for clarifying that effectively everyone outside of Oracle

I didn't say that - clearly there were plans and schedules previously discussed
that were not met (and they were always plans and schedules, not contracts or
guarantees) - I just said that there was no public statement yet about what the
new plans/schedules are.
While I can understand it when it applies to commercial only products it
doesn't make much sense
when applied to open source products being in development.
I wouldn't except Oracle to publicly commit to Solaris 11 date but I
would definitely expect them to allow their engineers the same amount of
freedom Sun did when it comes to publicly talking about OS development.
Basically what happened recently is that all of you guys went totally
silent here. Then there are no new dev builds in form of a distro and
there is no new stable osol release either. At the same time there is no
clarification on why, etc. It is just plain wrong.
I hope Oracle will realize it rather sooner than later.
