The OpenSolaris governance model needed to be approved by Sun before it was put up for a community vote; that was all conducted in the Open. What that means is also that we cannot change the governance model without renewed approval. Assuming for the sake of discussion that OpenDS operates under a similar model, then the following change log of the OpenDS governance model tells a lot: https://opends.dev.java.net/source/browse/opends/trunk/www/public/docs/dev-docs/OpenDS-Governance.html?rev=3476&view=log I cannot read this anything other than "Sun did not ask for a change; Sun asked for a change to be undone".
