I generally agree, but I'm not convinced that a 98% solution is
enough. Walk me through how the following senario would be
handled...
We have the JDS Gnome and Firefox source out on OpenSolaris.
For the most part, serious development of these subsystems
are done at gnome.org and mozilla.org. However, it is
quite possible that a OpenSolaris contributor would propose
a change requiring ARC review to the Solaris specific parts
of these (say an RBAC interface issue with Gnome). What
happens when this change which would normally be reviewed
by LSARC is submitted?
