while I agree with you on some of the points, I have to say that I
love IPS and how it uses ZFS, if the code would have been based off
some Linux package manager then the changes would never go upstream
due to the lack of bootable clones/snapshots.
Do you have any clue how many patches Sun maintains for packages in
onnv-gate that never go upstream? Anyway.. they say love is blind so it
all seems fitting..
Do you know how many patches Sun maintains for packages that are never
accepted by upstream because they don't agree with the design or
implementation?
I can tell you with certainty that Sun works hard to ensure
contributions go upstream, it's ultimately less work for them and less
code to maintain.
