Are these only drivers that have been de-supported, or are you encouraging new driver development as well? > 3) Sun would have no official support for this new consolidation. > > * no support in bugster for this stuff > * not part of any official Sun distro > * caveat emptor If there's no SCAs required, then source in this consolidation will have an extra hurdle (potentially insurmountable) if, after a period of time, its maintainers want to port it to an SCA-requiring consolidation. (My suspicion is that a revision sequence without SCAs covering each step will result in a longer diligence check. Also, you haven't stipulated the set of software licenses allowed.) It might be interesting to have the output of this effort distributed via the contrib/ repository--that work has a similar "at own risk" aspect, and has a submission and acceptance policy already in place. (So the Maintained Open Legacy Drivers (?) consolidation could focus on code, building, and testing.)
