Firstly, let me apologize for snipping your clear thinking and your logic.
I feel like that judge in the movie "My Cousin Vinny" who looks down at
Pesci and says something like :
... that is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection.
overuled.
You're thinking too much about it. Perhaps.
Essentially people will run off and do whatever they do.
I'm just going to migrate the heck out of the SVR4 inventory at Blastwave
into an IPS repo and get it online promptly. I think that the OpenSolaris
binary release is not perfect but it is forward looking and it competes
with the Linux experience. It gets us to a point where we *can* at least
begin to form some unity in our efforts. If I can add 1200 or 1500
software packages on both the x86 and Sparc side out of the massive
community man-hours invested at Blastwave then, as Forest Gump says,
"that's a good thing right?"
All the wood behind one truck going in the same direction sort of thing.
