It's the project team's responsibility to submit complete materials
for review.  It's not the ARC member's responsibility to go off and
figure out what (if anything) a project team might be trying to do.

Of course.

I'm well aware.

As with any review -- design, code, or otherwise -- the point of an
architectural review is to make sure that what's being done by the
project team is consistent with good practices.  In this case, that
means that the project conforms to expected norms (secure by default,
least privilege, and SMF, among others) and is something that can
potentially be used by future projects as a building block.

Your case sponsor is supposed to help you with this.  He's supposed to
make sure that your materials are complete and that he understands
what the project is doing.  I don't think that happened in this
instance.
