Well, actually it more sounded like a clear stop of the project
development due to the deal and less of being scarce of development
resources.
Also I wonder that Sun is already investing a lot of resources into
answering questions while Sun's current owner -- the shareholders -- in
fact have not decided to sell to Oracle at all. If there is no majority
to sell, then all this resources are spent for nothing. A risky game I
think. If I would be a Sun shareholder, I would not like Sun to stop
working in favour of answering Oracle questions.
