Don't be a dick. He's asking if they can share some of their intentions based on their current internal roadmap. If you're telling me Sun doesn't have a 1yr/2yr/3yr roadmap for ZFS I'd say we're all in some serious trouble. "We make it up as we go along" does NOT invoke the least bit of confidence, and I HIGHLY doubt that's how they're operating. --Tim
