I think what's most frustrating about the closed_bins is that we don't know 
*why* in some cases. It would be helpful if there were a status list for the 
closed_bins that indicated what items would never be available (due to 3rd 
party or something generic like that as reason), which have a chance of being 
available at some unknown date (under review), and which items will be 
available at some unknown date (in process).

That would go a long way to silencing critics. If we *knew* that you actually 
couldn't release an item ever because it was completely out of "SUN's hands" so 
to speak; that might be a motivation for people to start working on something. 
At the moment, we have some vague notion that some things are "out of our 
control" but we don't know who the group of people the comprise "our" is, and 
we don't know if that means *forever*.

I apologise if this information is somewhere obvious and I've missed it.

Thankfully though, we finally *know* that libc_i18n is completely out of "SUN's 
hands" so to speak. It indeed sounds like a great opportunity for a community 
project.
