Several of the Oracle9iAS developers told me that they bought a snapshot of
the Orion code base approximately one year ago - since that time there have
been significant modifications to the Oracle code base - which will never be
a merged with Orion.  

They did point out however that a reasonable amount of the work on the
Oracle code base was done by Ironflare and they said there is no significant
reason why Ironflare couldn't re-implement the same features in the Orion
code base.

So they are two seperate trees and 'technically' maintained by two seperate
groups.  Just the group maintaining Oracles tree happens to include the
entire group maintaining the Orion tree along with a bunch of Oracle
engineers as well.  :(

How different is Oracle9i from Orion? I always thought it was the same thing
but renamed.

Are they essentially two different trees now maintained by different groups?
