Who is hurt?

• OSS projects and customers

  • Effort duplication
  • Developer, tester dilution

• Proprietary vendors - duplicate efforts with each other and OSS projects, and have trouble recruiting middleware partners

• Middleware vendors - effort duplication, and lots of workload from HA vendors

• End users - incomplete, incompatible products, confusion, fear, uncertainty, doubt

• Linux community -weakened clustering offerings
