IMHO, the big issue that this screams out to me is this:
"Nobody is using this tool."

That struck me too. I didn't mention it because I hate to bear negative news
about the platform. On the other hand I don't see Oracle having a strategic
interest in IBM i, either. Give away MySQL so IBM can make money off it?
What's the value proposition?
