Most on this list are not interested in history.  We're interested in 
making OpenSolaris the best OS on the planet.  History lessons are not 
relevant towards meeting those goals.

This is not history; in "internet time", this is simply *ancient* 
history and is of no interest to me (or most others on the OpenSolaris 
project).  I'm interested in today and yesterday, and possibly last 
month....  I'm not even very interested in build 52 and I'm about to 
upgrade a machine running build 68.

If you see a sense of urgency, when are you going to actually *do* 
something about it?

Facts from 2002 are ancient history.  You may as well bring up the 
Battle of Hastings in 1066.  Both are irrelevant to OpenSolaris today.

Again - you keep making accusations and you have yet to request a 
sponsor to begin the actual integration.  Stop foisting FUD on the 
OpenSolaris project with these unfounded accusations.
