I am sure, at one point in time, the same was true with Apache. But now that the kid
has grown up, look where it is today. Which is why I make a big distinction between a
plain open source, and a mature open source. Things like Apache, Linux, Mysql, and
Postgresql are mature open source -- partly due to the fact that they been around for
a number of years. Projects like Orion, Resin, Jboss, Tomcat, Enhydra, Openejb, and
Jonas have the potential to become mature open source (yes, Orion is not open -
piety), some more then others (like Jboss, Tomcat, and Openejb) and they probably will
be. People ask, for example -- should they run Jboss in a production environment.
The answer depends on how big is the user load in the production environment. Jboss
doesn't currently support either horizontal or vertical clustering, and they have
plans this year to implement vertical clustering. If the project continues to mature,
there may be future plans to add horizontal clustering. A !

user from this list mentioned Gemstone's ability to work among many distributed VM's.
So I am sure, for example, that some environments have no problem running an RDMS like
Oracle for large projects and an RDMS like Mysql or Postgresql for small projects.

However, MySQL support has not always been that "first class". I can remember the days
when
MySQL support was much like Orion support today - you needed the mailing list!
Lets hope that Orion can make the same transition to providing strong support.
