Most of Sun's resources are invested in things that make them money right now and keep the lights on at their buildings and their employee salaries paid. Investing in better Linux Niagara support in the way that you want is a huge risk, and you are only one very vocal customer and that does not, in and of itself, translate into lots of revenue and lots of profit for Sun. In fact, it is not even guarenteed that you yourself will buy lots of Niagara boxes to run Linux on, things change sometimes unexpectedly. So your expectations and judgments of Sun as a company are wholly disconnected from reality. Please stop this banter, and work on things to support what Sun has done so far and things which will encourage them to do more in the future. And _NO_ this does mean continuing to say that Sun isn't doing enough to satisfy you, that discourages rather than encourages in case you haven't gotten that message LOUD and CLEAR by now. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
