Totally Agree !
One of the key things that Sun has failed to do in my opinion, is to drop the right people when it has had to do a workforce reduction, and make an effort to keep the right people from leaving and doing a proper and useful re-organisation of what is left after the excercise.
Often the people who should have been dropped are the very people making the decisions. Oracle should wait to see what they have got, take/mix the right people into their organisation and then drop what is left. Not the other way around, ie let the middle management drop/keep who they want and then merge what is left !!
