What's in it for us? It sounds like a waste of time. OpenSolaris is [mostly] open source, snoop is in the open source part of OpenSolaris. That should be enough. > >>As far as I can see, we've got everything to gain and nothing to lose by > >>trying it. > >> > > > >No. Because it's silly. > > > > Why do you say that? I would say it's silly because you're suggesting, I think, that someone at Sun (?) do the work to get snoop to be a standalone tool that can be hosted outside ON... but we all seem to agree that snoop is dead to us! (except for compatibility reasons) What is the "everything" that we've got to gain by doing this? Why isn't snoop's presence in ONNV sufficiently "open source"?
