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?
