When the objectives for Fedora are remotely similar to those of Sun's, then it might be plausible statement. Since the objectives for Fedora are nothing even remotely similar, comparing Fedora to Sun Solaris is wholly and completely absurd. If you want to believe that developers are making changes just to be making changes, then there is little I am going to say that changes your mind. Craig
