I think I can tell which side of the debate you were on.

Keep your pants on, geez.  I'm actually rather appalled that you could 
get so unjustifiably bent out of shape at me *after* we met.  Goes to 
show you that not everything is improved by personal acquaintance.

Let's get some stuff clear:

1) I do not speak for Sun execept on specific occasions arranged by Sun 
PR.  Not ever.

2) If you re-read my message, it says:
... (it's now available for Debian, for example) ...
not ANYTHING about main or distributed or non-free or whatever.

So, I think you owe me an apology.
