[cctalk] Re: Open source a panacea?

Open Source projects these days have short release cycles and are often abandoned for the new hotness. Part of my day job is supporting products that were developed years ago and are still selling and are being updated now because a component in it has been EOL’ed and replaced with a part the old kernel can’t handle. When I worked at Sun, code of this age was still supported. However for the open source software used in this product even the upstream repos and SDK tarballs are nowhere to be found on the internet. alan
