How many people who want oracle support participate in bug bashes (we've had two this month)?
How many step forward to agree to implement new features agreed upon via the TIP process for Oracle?
How many step forward to to provide test servers running various versions of Oracle they'd like to see supported?
How many agree to test beta releases on Oracle?
In absolute terms, it's not the number of hours I spend, it's the principle, the fact that I'm the only person in the community who's made the commitment to make sure oacs core releases work for at least one version of Oracle (9i).
You are essentially saying "people should not work on core unless they pledge to install, test and support Oracle as well as PG".
Despite the fact that they never use Oracle themselves.
Come to think of it, of those of you using Oracle, how many work on the core at all? Yes, many of you did in the past, but now? How many?
(AFAIK the question to all of the above is "zero")
No one is saying y'all are "bad people", we're just saying y'all need to step up to the plate, get involved, and help support the platform.
The expectation by some seems to be that no one in the Oracle community need be involved in development, maintenance and testing of the platform.
That's wrong.
