The purpose of the ARC is to prevent unrelated projects from harming
one another and OpenSolaris/Solaris.

I have not seen the ARC harm a project (except, perhaps, the PSARC causing 
pcfs NOT to have an option which makes pcfs case behave like Windows/
Linux).

Giving any one person veto power is very wrong; it does allow for exactly 
that thing you oppose.  The ARC only approves projects and gives gentle 
nudges to the rudder.  It rarely, if ever, denies projects.  So in effect,
the authority to veto the ARC would be the authority to veto projects.
