That's not actually what I was asking, although I agree with your conclusion about a source fork.
The real point is whether or not Indiana might choose to skip a delivery of a consolidation because it felt it was of insufficient quality, relative to the other goals it has for a particular release.

If you would prefer that I table my questions due to other project priorities, that's fine. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
