Having a 12 implies that it's incompatible with 11 at some level (that's precisely what the version number bump would mean). I haven't seen anything coming down the track that requires such a bump, it's far better for customers and support (and vendor qualification) to stick with update releases of 11. I guess they've just rebranded 12 as 11.next and about the only difference will be that all the legacy junk scheduled for removal in 12 will stay around a bit longer. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
