This is assuming that there is a problem; three CAB members did take part in the development process discussions (Al, Rich and me) and I don't think we so fault in it. Of course, we're all Solaris/Sun fanboys and believe that the way in which we architect and develop is "The One True Way(TM)". The Solaris architecture meetings take some getting used to, I grant you that; and my reaction when first confronted with them was pretty much like yours. "It's my project and I cry if I want to" but I have now reached the state of enlightenment. As a person with previous experience I believe that the whole ksh93 discussion was a text book example of how such things happen. There are sparcs flying and sometimes disagreement; but in the end the projects generally improve where they are changed (though there are obviously counter examples such as how "pcfs" deals with file name case) "It may be your project, but it is NOT your OpenSolaris/Solaris".
