RE: FW: [regrep] Press release

["Breininger, Kathryn R" <kathryn.r.breininger@boeing.com>]

The request below is the only change other than typos and a request from
Joel Munter to remove Intel's name from the attribution statement in the
final paragraph. PR is planning to release it the middle of next week, so
unless there are other major changes, there will not need to be another
revision.

Kathryn:

Sun is looking over this now and will have comments to you by Monday. Will
there be another revision available for review before the release?

Thanks
