I would also like to see Informix be a little quicker getting code fixes into some of their lower priority ports. I run an SCO site, and I have personally provided 10 test cases for new bug numbers in the past two years. Some of these issues are still open (on SCO, anyway) a year after the fact. It is rather disappointing that the bugs that I encounter get fixed for other platforms long before Informix gets around to helping out the person who found the problem.
