Small fixes to compiler and runtime, and maybe even a small OS port are doable. (e.g. porting to another *nix is typically a week full time to get the initial core working). This can matter really a lot to businesses, since it gives application developers some more breathing room, and allows to directly attack the problem on the place where it is instead of performing complex workarounds (like binary postprocessors). Specially on ever changing Linux, this can be quite important, as Kylix history quite effectively shows. |
