It takes two steps:
1) a project that needs to consume the interfaces that can be ARC reviewed,
and
2) the agreement from the provider of the interface in question that they
are
willing to raise the stability level of the interface9s) to that level.
Both are intentionally difficult, because, in general, cross project and cross
consolidation contracts break the architectural abstractions that make it
possible to maintain our systems.
