Please don't ask an unpaid, volunteer, OpenSolaris developer to make

Consider that Sun employees are paid to make any changes their
management requests - but that simply can't apply to volunteers like
Roland who have already put *hundreds* of unpaid man-hours into a
project.
He's not asking Roland to make changes because he's his manager and
can tell him what to work on. The correct way to interpret this is as
an exchange of review commentary between peer engineers. If Roland
doesn't want to make those changes, Meem can ask the C-team to block
his RTI due to unsatisfied review comments. That's not the same as
saying that Roland has to do this or that or he's fired.
OK, if I get the right to block the RTI for the next unplanned (*) Sun tar,
I have no problem with this point of view. If this is not possible, it would
help a lot if there was a more realistic approach.
*) Because it introduces new "inherited waste"

To take this to the next step, Meem can *ask* the C-team to block the
RTI, but they do not have to act on his request. So, too, you can
do the same. At this point you don't really have access to the C-team,
but until the C-team is opened up, if you have a legitimate point I am
sure someone at Sun would relay that point to the C-team if you
requested it.
