Actually, the primary attraction to an IHV is the build-for-build
correspondence to ON, which allows the use of consolidation private
interfaces like GLDv3. Otherwise, we could just offer drivers from
our own download site.
Well....
the right answer is to make GLDv3 public.
That won't help the group within sun to open ce, or to port it to
gldv3, or to let the community create a nemo-ized replacement (that
Sun will allow to be putback to ON) (as one example).
It would help with the last item, as the community could create a replacement
based on standard interfaces, and thus get less pushback from Sun about features
and maintainability...and it would allow a new-consolidation ce that is stable...
Why is ce different from any driver?
