What method does Sun use to evaluate "demand"? Is there some survey that we all missed taking part in? Will Sun be offering OpenMotif or Lesstif so that old applications can still be built, or should the developers of applications still using Motif maintain their Solaris 8/9/10 systems for an indeterminate amount of time so they can still ship product without entirely re-writing the application?
