I'm not certain that there has been any consensus that an existing ARC
should be re-purposed to address OpenSolaris. In another posting in
this thread, Mr. Carlson stated:
I don't think rechartering PSARC and trying to make it the
OpenSolaris ARC necessarily makes sense, as you'd be essentially
talking about a new group -- not PSARC by any stretch.
If we're going to go ahead and create a new ARC for OpenSolaris, it's
going to be easiest to make the appropriate adaptations at the beginning.
