Suppose a *supported* customer finds a bug. Does that mean that either SUN or IBM which offers support, will fix said bug? Will they then release it back to the general community, or do they intend to maintain their own patched distribution chain? I know I've asked this question a couple of times, yet no one from either Sun or IBM are willing to respond. [SNIP]
