Brian, I will certainly concede to your "change is alway painful" point. But, why does it have to go away? Many people have indicated that they will not/can not move forward with Gnome/JDS. And I certainly understand the time/manpower/monetary stance from Sun in supporting multiple environments.
Why can't Sun just put CDE and other things on a companion disk, and say here is _______. Sun will not support it, will not make bug fixes or any other improvements or enhancements. I believe that ultimately OLVWM was provided this way for OpenWindows. Also, when Sun moved from SunOS 4.x to SunOS 5.x, the Berkley people were given /usr/ucb/ . I don't understand why this has to be so black and white. Why can't there be any middle ground with window managers?
