Jain, please do not take this reply as a personal affront! This is solely about the impertinence of your employer as I have already ignored _three_ private mails with the same topic originated from Freescale management folks. Though, I'm happy that you've been obviously forced by the same people which I ignored to send this mail. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to give a public response.

I think I've made it entirely clear in the past, that these stupid roadmap and release plan questions are annoying as hell. See: http://bit.ly/XJF0em I'm really amazed by the chuzpa of Freescale management folks to demand information from an Open Source project solely for the sake of Freescale business decisions. I would not mind such a demand from someone who actively fosters the development of this project (either by providing substantial man power or by sustainably funding it), but it seems that none of the managers at Freescale noticed my recent observations about participation on PREEMPT_RT. See: https://lwn.net/Articles/524329/ and https://lwn.net/Articles/232379/ Just to make it clear: - Neither I nor anyone else in the PREEMPT_RT community has any interest in Freescale business decisions. - I personally detest the abuse of Freescale engineers who are involved with this project to be forced to gain information which their managers could not get. - I call out Freescale management folks to explain why they think that Open Source free-riding entitles them to demand anything from the community.
