Autsch! Don't do that, as we know, that once such a bad hack is in place, nobody will touch it again for a long time. And this is one reason, why people can't find the information they need - often these links point to sun internal sites (and foment the feel, that the project is still a sun internal thing) or point to the wrong place. E.g. have a look at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/111-115/ : almost every link to a PSARC results into a "Resource Not Found". Not sure about how open a opensource project is, when you can't find the meat/specs/proposals or whatever PSARCs meant to be. Anyway, if you want to keep people disappointed and away from *Solaris and keep the "community" as small as possible, go ahead ...
