“OK, I tried to resist but I can’t help myself: I told
you so.

“I’ve said for over a year that with Oracle in charge
OpenSolaris would be toast, and I had people tell me that I was
just spreading FUD. Even after it became abundantly clear that
Oracle was going to let it die off, I still had people swearing up
and down that Oracle would keep OpenSolaris going.

It’s over. OpenSolaris is dead.”
