Unhappy community = potential for bad times > ahead. Vagueness and hand waving. Due to fear of the unknown, there is much fear and panic amongst people who know nothing. And they're rampant on the Internet, that's for sure. Nobody can name anything specific in opensolaris that has been hurt by oracle. No projects are cancelled, no employees laid off, no platforms have been discontinued ... Everywhere you look, oracle pledges commitment to solaris, and plans future products based on solaris... Soon enough, the ignorant panicky people will settle down. Unless something substantial actually changes someday, which hasn't happened yet. Software development in opensolaris & solaris is almost entirely done by sun/oracle employees. They're still working on things now, exactly as they always have been.
