Ah, two things here,...
1) The argument against is that you put things on root which need
to be on root, nothing more.
Think about it. If you start putting things on root without
justification, the whole root/usr distinction becomes lost.
(Some have argued it should be lost, but if that's the case
we need a different proposal.)
Therefore, the status quo is not on root. Everything requesting
inclusion on root needs to provide the justification. This is
really quite simple.
2) Project teams are not given absolute power in Sun, OpenSolaris
or any serious FOSS environment. The only difference is what
the review process is (in many FOSS environments, the role is
that of "committer").
