​Very true. I remember chanting, with others, "Just say NO to OCO." IBM
summarily ignored us.​ I will say that in many ways since then IBM's
attempts to make more interfaces documented and "GUPI" are nicely done. But
"use the source, Luke!" is the GNU mantra and I embrace it. IBM's thoughts
seem to be "don't tell us how to do things, tell us what you need & why".
Of course, if it doesn't have a business case, then the profit driven IBM
will feel free to either ignore or "back burner" it.
