Almost agree. My architectural points from the initial submission
of the case were the incomplete specification. And from an ARC
pointing to the business teams perspective, is the project team
engaged with the community and will they remain engaged.
I don't know what's come of the earlier business edict that all
Solaris projects (whatever that means in an OpenSolaris world)
will deliver tests into the test organization.
