sorry i meant Peter B :-)

And my point, was in response to his note, that "none of those have
Performance Co-Pilot either so who knows what people are looking for?"

but my somewhat lengthier reply was as to the nature of "those";
pointing out that people looking for "free software", are going to be
heavily influenced in their expectations by other "free software
distributions", even if those distributions are not solaris-specific.

in other words, my presumption is that most people will come to our
package set with an expectation of, "well,
[Debian/freebsdj/ubuntu/....] has it, so you should too",   more than,
"well, sunfreeware/blastwave/whatever has it".

So, naming of applications, (particularly long-time well-known ones),
matters in well known distributions, even if they are not strictly
speaking solaris distributions.

That was the essence of my issue, and I was waiting to see what the
package submitter, Peter B., had to say on the matter.
