OK, let us say that a veto from an OpenSolaris based project as a whole should prevent such a removal. > > Also no code should be added that did not get > > a code review, or if even just a single person mentions a veto. > > > Disagree.

Do you really support that a single person should be able to add code without a code review or after a code review did identify bugs?

Even if there was something missing, we could easily add it as the format is open to (even private) enhancements. The advantage of the format is that it supports a split / and /usr and this is something I do not like to miss for future options. > > I would be glad if there was a way to find a way that avoids to do a single > > work more than once and that could help OpenSolaris distros to be more > > effective. > > > absolutely! Send me a note if you like to have a provate discussion first in order to discuss the main problems first.
