I am kind of agreeing with this. We put back something in Nevada and we want to change that now. I don't think Solaris express is considered a release so you can just yank out the stats from flowadm adn dladm and make them available only via respective *stat commands. Now it would be nice if the June OpenSolaris release can go out with the correct behaviour. Perhaps swing by your friendly C-team and Opensoalris release team and see if they can pull the changes necessary in Opensolaris release train or if they can offer better suggestions. Dave Comay and John Beck would be good starting points. Cheers, Sunay
