I just exchanged some mail with Casey about this, and he requested that I post a followup. His flame was based on information well over a year out of date; the particular thing that he was complaining about (semantics of access control) was fixed in SR10, which was designed, implemented, and shipped to customers months before the HP takeover. -- Henry Spencer is so much of a | Bill Sommerfeld at MIT/Project Athena minimalist that I often forget | sommerfeld@mit.edu he's there - anonymous |
