Why is this opensolaris-arc ?

The opensolaris- is redundant given the @opensolaris.org mail domain IMO.

This email structure implies that we no longer wish to distinguish the 
sub groups of ARC, ie PSARC, LSARC, WSARC, FWARC.  Now for OpenSolaris 
I'd say that most of the time only projects that are reviewed in PSARC 
and LSARC are really interesting.  After all anything reviewed in FWARC 
should be about hardware or firmware and that is either opensparc or 
some place else but not OpenSolaris.  Similarly even though somethings 
that WSARC may already be open source (such as Application Server) they 
aren't really OpenSolaris issues so I don't expect much traffic from 
WSARC out to OpenSolaris.

So with that I mind I think a better name space would be:

psarc at opensolaris.org
psarc-.... at opensolaris.org  - if the other thread agrees the sub aliases 
are actually valuable - I have no strong preference either way on the 
member/intern/licensee split but the agenda/chair split I think is 
valuable.  Particularly looking forward to the day when the chair of 
PSARC is not a Sun employee!

and we also have:

lsarc at opensolaris.org

With maybe a need for the equivalent of the current all-arcs and 
sac-review aliases at some point in the future.


For the context of non Sun people on this thread, I have been a WSARC 
intern, member and one time co-chair.  I chaired the now defunct SNARC 
and "stick my nose into" many PSARC cases as sponsor or contributer.
