Without going into detail on the architectural issues around filesystems not delivered by ON, let me at least shed a bit of light on this part. You can read about the C-team and other aspects of the development process at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/os_dev_process/. Put simply, the C-team is the entity that manages a consolidation; in this case, ON. Put crudely, they decide whether a particular project gets to integrate into their consolidation. James's discussion about the openness of the review process itself seems sufficiently straightforward on its own. As for ensuring the availability of the artifacts of that process, the suggestion on the table is that the ON C-team (which is currently operating opaquely, a separate but very serious problem the OGB will need to address) could alleviate much but not all of your concern over closed cases by imposing an open-case integration requirement. The C-teams, or more broadly the Consolidations' Community Groups, are the correct avenue for such a proposal. I would encourage any leaders of the ON Community Group who may receive this message to consider creating a mailing list or other mechanism by which such a proposal could be offered with respect to their consolidation. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
