No, but any single core contributor to that code can request an ARC review and veto any change that is rejected by the ARC. That is assuming the ARC provided a technical justification for a veto. We've gone through this a hundred times already. The current ARC process at Sun is not mandated in any way *other* than by choice of the consolidation gatekeepers. Nothing has changed in that regard. In fact, if anything, we have strengthened the ARC by removing the ability for any one company to override a veto for "business" reasons. ....Roy
