darthcamaro writes "Some may wonder why OSDL, the self-proclaimed center of gravity for the Linux Universe and employer of Linus Torvalds, does not include Oracle as a member.

While we're at it, I demand that vi also support ctrl-z for Zundo, ctrl-x for Xut, and ctrl-v for Vaste. These control keys are obvious and should be worldwide standards!
