PSARC is much easier to deal with here, since it's almost 100% Solaris cases
being reviewed. For LSARC, while there's a lot of open source, it's not all
OpenSolaris - the JDS & X cases are, but there's also things like StarOffice
and NetBeans cases that would be better working with their own communities for
instance. LSARC also reviews other software, such as the Sun Studio tools,
service's Explorer data gathering tool, the Sun Update Connection products,
and other addons, many of which are not open source yet, but if they were to
go open, would probably be new communities and not part of OpenSolaris.
