RE: dc_used_extents ,dc_free_extents and dc_histogram_defs

Well, I think part of the problem is a perception (how valid it is I don't think I'm in a position to say, but the perception certainly exists) that allowing access to the code too early simply provides ammunition for competitors to be far more prepared than we'd like them to be. :)

And no apologies needed. Particularly from someone that's bigger than me! :)

I missed the opportunity because I was amid changing jobs. I tried to lay my hands
on the software several times since then, to no avail.

No need, Pete. I've always appreciated your advice and expertize. Your posts have been
very useful to me on more then one occasion. I am the one to apologize for blowing off
some steam, but I must confess, that I don't understand such secrecy, especially not
after it has already been announced.
