<tt><font size="2">If there have been any major disputes that were not resolvable in a mutually agreeable way, it is news to me. While the OI project and the Illumos project may not have always seen eye to eye on all technical matters, the Illumos Foundataion (to my knowledge) never made any move with regard to what the OI project has wanted to do. We have been given complete control with regards to our own direction. I do not forsee that changing in the near future. So, if I am mistaken please, put a fine point on it. If you have a legitimate complaint, let's get it out in the open.</font></tt></body></html>
