Re: The future of Solaris?

what is this single point of failure?

have you submitted the bug to a JIRA or bugzilla to address this?
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552/gbfdy?a=view

If the patch was not in latest distro
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552/apa-sparc-23587?a=view

then when will it be scheduled in?

thanks,
Martin
