I also think you will find that the parties involved before (if still
involved) will control the outcome of what ever is published.
Reminds me of an article where the iSeries was being replaced by Linux.
All the CIO wanted to do was for them to develop all of their own stuff
using open source. They wanted absolute control and responsibility so in
his mind Linux was the solution. I'm sure if you come back and ask him are
they happy the answer will be yes. And for all intended purposes they very
well could be. I had a hard time understanding the real business benefits
of this decision but this wouldn't be the first time. And I'm not knocking
Linux or open source or LAMP or whatever.........

get written.
