I'm not sure how there is mistreatment when known that Solaris 10 is the
current production-grade product and OpenSolaris, for all intents and
purposes, a beta product that is currently under active development. I was
actually surprised when SUN provided a level of support for OpenSolaris
above and beyond bug reporting and resolution.
So be it, but the point is that they did offer and push it,
guaranteeing the same level of support as Solaris, etc. I (perhaps
foolishly) believed it and invested heavily in it. For them to go back
on this is an affront to the idea of being a reliable, trusted
provider. I'd expect this sort of behaviour from some of the lesser
technology companies, but not from Sun and Oracle. This is what's
supposed to set them apart.
I think, we all got your point, and do agree, that there SEEMS to be a
regression. But, as stated, give Oracle a bit of time, to simply CHECK each and
every offering, that Sun had! Do you know, for example, that Oracle does offer
LIVETIME support for products? Something, that Sun never did? So, let's relax,
sit down, and drink a cup of good tea, and let's wait and see... And possibly
talk about this topic in two months time...
And while I respect your opinion that Solaris 10 is a "current
production-grade product," to me, the reality is that it's many
versions behind in its huge number of bundled services and it's a lot
of work to trim down.
Still, it's a FACT, that S10 is the product, and OSOL is a community effort,
and provides previee snapshots twice a year...
Its footprint is enormous compared to
OpenSoalris and its not nearly as modern. I've worked on it since
before it was called Solaris, so I've lived with this for decades now.
Same here, SunOS 3.5 on a Sun 3/50...
To keep up with these fresh (albeit comparatively crude) Linux
variants, this paradigm had to change and OpenSolaris was the
solution. Thin and modern but still tremendously more solid than the
others. That's essentially why we adopted it en masse.
And as Solaris is that mature and around so long alrewady, please give the new owner the
chance to get up to speed! And don't complain after less then 4 weeks about your
perceived "fate of OpenSolaris"...
That's all we're asking here...
Again: I have to repeat: I have no insight whatsoever into the proceedings at
Oracle around the topics discussed here
