From a cynical point of view, it gives people who don't contribute technically (but want to be involved) something to do. Kind of like how Government beaurocracy keeps people employed. The level of beaurocracy in OpenSolaris exceeds what I've seen in any other open source group by an order of magnitude and is a facet of life at Sun that we seem to have carried over from Solaris to OpenSolaris, for better or worse.
