The LSARC just put Drools in Solaris last May. What am I missing here?
I am also a bit confused as I remember that the intrgration of "antlr" that
happened recently.
Why are generic tools first added and soon removed again?

The project that these bits were intended to be used by isn't
integrating, we don't have any identified consumers, and there is no
identified support. The specific package that you mention 'antlr'
is actually antlr 3.0. We are currently delivering antlr 2.7.7 and
3.0. Antlr 2.7 will remain for the time being since it is required
to build some other bits that don't appear to have any consumer or
support, but are not part of this case.
It would be nice if removal of EOL'ed FOSS was implemented as "move from
/release to /contrib". I understand that how easy that is to pull off
depends on which consolidation the components being removed live in, so
I'd expect that often i-teams would balk at moving removed items to
/contrib. Also, /contrib is getting populated quite independently of
the ARC, thus another legitimate answer from i-teams could be that "hey,
/contrib is someone else's problem, and we might even move these pkgs
there, but we won't commit to it". Still, I recommend that i-teams just
move FOSS to /contrib, instead of simply removing it, whenever it makes
sense.
The plan is to move them to /contrib (see section 4.1).
