Why do you try to be non-cooperative?
You create a lot of traffic in this thread but you do not help the topic
to be resolved. The problem is that Sun needs to learn to cooperate with the
community if OpenSolaris should become a success.
It does not help at all if Sun let's people from the non-sun community develop
ideas and then start to implement them inside Sun. This will discourage the
community and this is why e.g. John Sonnenschein seems to be angry.
Sun needs to learn that people will stop publishing ideas if they are stolen by
Sun.
