Keith is a part of the community as much as anyone else, and more so, he is working to help resolve some of these issues. This is not about what Sun's customer's want, other than they are a part of the community also. What Keith proposed was spot on, IMO, and we need to work towards a unified community that has no divisions between internal Sun folks and external community folks. Everyone should be one and the same, working together. Reading Keith's comments insure me that I think Sun has put the right person in there to try to help sort some of these issues out. It's not as if Keith is doing this without trying to consult the community at large, this is afterall how this discussion came to be.

I don't see why any of this wouldn't be put in place as the community (and I use this in a generic term, Sun is a part of the community afterall;-) forms all of this. > Problems with the actual net version of the software, should be redirected > to the actual software author (unless the sun person feels energetic ;-) > Anything fixable on the packaging/compilation/preconfiguration side of > things, should be fixed, and a new package issued.
