It was a bit different.
You said, for agreeing to do the project, you want to see more commitment.
As you did not define what you meant (or I overlooked it) the entire thing died.
If you permit me to, remind you, I had been very enthusiastic about it.

Even though it basically destroys my hoped small "business
opportunity" of hopefully selling 3 or ,4 Xorg ddx's.

If somebody want's to check the archives, then feel free.
If Sun releases Xsun's src, then I am in the boat.
Exactly as I have stated back then.
