Is PSARC and LSARC reversed at the top?
Taking a quick count of FOSS cases from the start of the year sponsored
by Jyri Virkki, Mark Carlson, Rick Matthews, Jim Walker, John Fischer,
Brian Cameron, Brian Utterback (I know I missed a few, but I think this
is a good sampling), I get:
70 LSARC FOSS Cases
30 PSARC FOSS Cases
Using this data:
http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/LSARC/2009/
http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/
Regardless, I don't think source origin should dictate which ARC is used.
Cheers,
Jim
