Yes, Red Sky is close. I've been saying "this summer" all summer, and we are certainly well into the summer. There are a couple of ColdFusion projects on DRK 4 which require Red Sky in certain circumstances, but there are always work-arounds. For instance, RSS Untangle only requires Red Sky for the updated JVM, which means you can just update the JVM with your existing installation of ColdFusion and RSSU will work fine. Pollster needs Red Sky on Unix platforms (other than OS X) because all the components in the application are mixed case, which is not supported by the current version of ColdFusion MX. If you don't have Red Sky, the work-around is to create lower case symbolic links, as described in the documentation. We wrote Red Sky specific code only where we thought it actually would make configuration and usage easier. For instance, RSSU requires a new JDK for it's built-in XML support. The XML parsing is done in Java (not ColdFusion), so we couldn't rely on ColdFusion's ability to parse XML, or the Java libraries underneath it since ColdFusion encapsulates the functionality well enough that future implementations might contain different versions of the underlying Java libraries. We needed an XML implementation we could count on not changing for a while, so rather than requiring the usage of third-party parsers, we decided to use the functionality that Sun already provides.
