However, I do think the broader Desktop community should be aware of the issue since not everyone is the ogb-discuss list. I do not want to judge Mr. Fielding nor second guess his intention on the OpenSolaris Community with the current information he has provided to date. However, I do like to have a more united Desktop Community when the outcome of the appeal come along :)
