Trust me. Just go look up the pathetic ridiculous fighting over megaraid_sas and mfi.
They have TWO choices, plus they could simply rip the stuff right out of OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD, but someone actually did the heavy lifting and ported it for them. (Some random dude took mfi from openbsd and ported it lickety split).
Yet it took until svn_89 or something to get in. This has been going on for at least 18 more like 24 months. Check the Sun forums for a huge amounting of whining over PERC support.
Now try and get javaws for the Linux 64 JDK/JRE or the browser plugin for Linux 64. Its been 3 years (Since 1.5.0 FCS) since people started whining about that.
Sun has a lot of bureaucrats really choking the place. Lawyers and idiot PMs. Generally the engineering is top notch, but the branding and direction goes from rudderless to so so.
