<tt><font size="2">I have to admit, parts of this are a bit confusing to me. While there are some things coming into illumos, there is more going out. It's looking vary much like OpenSSL is going to be gone (from what I can tell, it's just a matter of making sure nothing depends on it, which is being worked on now), WU-ftpd is looking like it's going to be removed, SUN DHCPd is looking to be going too. Cardbus was just dropped, which is part of removing legacy PM.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">I definitely understand the lack of stable OI releases (or any apparent desire to make a stable release from hipster) being frustrating.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">At any rate, best of luck. You'll be missed.</font></tt><br>
