Don't say that, Peter.
I'm working on the committee now for many years and got most changes I
(and those telling me their wishes) wanted through. This is very much
a technically oriented working group, not political. In fact, of the
regular members there are more with stakes in Linux than any of the
other OSes combined. If there are problems people perceive they can
file bugs on the OpenGroup's site
(http://www.opengroup.org/austin/defectform.html) or tell me about it.
I'm quite aware of that, but I still think Sun has more resources to get
their particular viewpoint through the committee -- it's just a matter
of resources at hand. I myself had to largely drop out due to other
pressures, for example.
Now, I'm much happier with Solaris being rubber-stamped than some other
possibilities. However, it's very easy to sweep concerns under the rug
by saying "legacy, out of scope."
