But think twice: If Sun likes to pay tons of money for re-inventing the wheel only to come into a position, where they can say "we made this, it is our little kindergarden invention", rather than having licensed rPath's conary in the first place (which is in busy development since 2004), then go ahead and waste more TIME, more MANPOWER, more MONEY and more other RESOURCES. I doubt your primary interest is to HELP CUSTOMERS increase their PRODUCTIVITY. Then we have your version (IPS) and our version (conary) and then users can see how much IPS continues to lag behind (rPath's conary 2.0).
