There's a bit of a disconnect here. PSARC is explictly and most emphatically *NOT* "the Solaris ARC." Nor is it more narrowly "the ON ARC." Instead, it's the platform software ARC. It was chartered to handle all platform software. Yes, Solaris happens to be a very important platform, but it's not the only one, nor is all Solaris software necessarily "platform software." Many important things for Solaris are done in the other ARCs. I don't think rechartering PSARC and trying to make it the OpenSolaris ARC necessarily makes sense, as you'd be essentially talking about a new group -- not PSARC by any stretch. I'm beginning to suspect that we need an ARC that is open-only, and leave various distributors to create and run their own internal ARC structures as they see fit. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
