Of course Sun doesn't really get it. - 11:40
 
Yesterday I
commented on some Sun developer noticing the sour grapes attitude of the LTT
developers. Interestingly today on LWN there was
a link to a diary 
entry from some Sun engineer going on about reasons he thinks Sun cant use
Linux or work with Linux kernel development people. Greg K-H (Linux kernel
developer) has a rather good 
rebuttal
to this. Interestingly he pretty much points out that working with the Linux
kernel developers on some feature until everyone is sure it can go in to the 
kernel (will be maintained, is of high quality, that it will in fact be used
and useful) is how you go about getting stuff into the kernel. You do not
simply put code in because some marketing or management person says it is
absolutely necessary.
