Clarification: A le has not closed the Intel-based Darwin kernel

O ews is reporting that Ernest Prabhakar, A le's Open Source and Open Standards product manager, has stated in the Fed-Talk mailing that A le has not actually closed Mac OS X's Darwin kernel for the Intel version of the O they simply haven't released it yet. eculation about A le closing the kernel arose from the fact that other non-kernel Darwin sources actually have been released, and the previous PowerPC-based kernel is still available as open source as well.

Ernest wanted to make sure that tech media didn't confuse ' eculation' with 'fact'. A good le on we all could benefit from.
