"Important" is in the eye of the beholder. If there are popular apps out there that need the libraries you're removing/not shipping, then those libraries are "important." Rather than have a popularity contest, it might be better to resolve the legal issue. And as for architecture, I agree with the comments that the ARC could review cases for including GPLv3 items that are then not included with any Sun-based distro of OpenSolaris (nor Solaris Nevada, nor any Solaris 10 updates, ...). That may seem like hair splitting, but the i-team could do the integration and packaging work for all of GnuTLS and leave the GPLv3'ed components in packages that are integrated into the WOS nor published to the IPS repository until the the legal issues are resolved.
