No, I disagree.  If A/UX isn't being marketed properly, it's a legitimate
issue for discussion.  It's hard to imagine that there isn't a program
similar to Sun's "Catalyst" program which encourages and promotes 3rd
party software development.

You could help by passing on these discussions to the marketing people
responsible for the decisions.  Throwing darts at the marketing folks
isn't quite as constructive.
