The obvious (to me) thing to do there, based on the prior thread we had on a similar topic (Alan's discussion on the OGB list, which was Cc'd here), would be for Tim and Robert, the OGB, and the appropriate SAC people to consider all this in unison (and in public, where appropriate). I don't think you can state that such things are opensolaris-ish if they're conducted inside without much or any communication with anyone on the opensolaris side of things. Especially since requirements and practices may differ (or need to differ). -- Rich
