The problem is that the current releases are OpenSolaris but we ARC don't know how those map to the release taxonomy. Was 2008.11 a major or minor or micro or patch release for these purposes? What will 2009.N be? I don't know. While that is A Problem, it's far broader than this case so it's not this case. Amanda I suggest marking this case for a micro/patch release for consistency with previous one (although there is no intention to backport to S10 since ruby itself isn't). Note this case is just the obsoletion announcement, actual removal being some future case. -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
