That's the exact size the X team has been at for the past two years, and
has had the exact same burdens as you, except we have had to do Xsun & Xorg
on both SPARC & x86 - it's only recently we've been able to move some of
our sustaining work to the Solaris sustaining teams, and just this month
we've been able to grow our group by one single engineer.

The LSARC case was not approved and has been marked "awaiting meeting" ever
since.

Right - but if you don't have the resources and we don't have the resources,
what else can we do? (I said it was the least resource intensive solution,
not the best one.)
