If it were a Sun product every new option would certainly need to be discussed in detail in the ARC case. Being a third party application, if all changes are simple, I'd be satisfied ARC-wise with just an automatic case which lists the upstream public feature changes from the release notes. There's one potential catch though, I see a few removed directives (and some changed directives) in the release notes. What is the impact on compatibility for users upgrading? Is it a seamless experience? Or do some features stop working? Does it error out on missing directives? Do users need to do anything beyond simply "pkg image-update" when upgrading? Any migration issues? In the worst case, if there are unresolvable incompatibilities you may need to ship multiple versions as done by Apache/MySQL and others. Hopefully that doesn't turn out to be necessary... -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
