6) Rules for integration would be far, far looser than ON:

* (what do other consolidations use for rti approval?)
* code review still required
* include documentation (man page) as part of integration
* no ARC approval required

* sign-off by one of the Core Contributors
As an employee of a small IHV, I have to say that this sounds
awesome to me. It took us nearly 2 years to get our completed
driver integrated, and it was very time consuming (as opposed to
a few weeks of time each for Linux and FreeBSD). So it would be
very nice to have an alternate distribution channel with a lower
barrier to entry to use for any new drivers we write.
