Sun is discontinuing the product. Not enough of it sold. I have it on good authority that the guys in Utah (i think) are going to other parts of Sun adn the product will be no more. *sniff* *sniff*
Aaaaarrrghhh! Well ... if there will be a bright side to this, maybe it'll be that Sunscreen will be *part of* / *integrated into* future Solaris/SunOS builds.

As for the original thread, I liked how the link goes on to say that people are pissed at software engineering terms (i.e. "unbreakable") being misused as marketing terms (i.e. unbreakable! ). Oh, well.

As for the patches ... I wonder if they weren't just waiting around to go into production? I get suspicious when people throw around terms like "unbreakable", "unhackable", "super-duper-duper" ... and don't first say, "geez .. what's this buffer overflow exploit that everyone's using on everything these days?".

<sigh>

Must read for Psychology 635 tomorrow.
