I would like to suggest follow-up is directed solely to advocacy- 
discuss (I have set reply-to).

Does the same apply to the rest of the creative work of the  
OpenSolaris community?  Had we better start getting a prize fund  
together in order to motivate people to work on ZFS, or SMF, or DTrace?

Or do you just think we've all been so impossibly rude and  
patronising to marketing professionals that there is no chance they  
would ever participate in our community, even if some company who was  
paying the salaries of many of the people in the community already  
were willing to also pay them while they participated?
