I spent maybe 15 minutes looking around this.  That surely isn't 
enough.  I did find the following.

    The OpenSolaris Developer Previews have the following limitations:

    *

      These are prototype releases. Not all features are complete.

That sounds like the feature set is established, just not complete.

Anyway, this isn't architectural.  Its just one reason I expect a future 
collision of expectations.

The more fundamental issue of ARC interaction is simple...

Successful projects interact early and often with the ARC (I suspect now 
a similar statement can be made about "OpenSolaris maintainers and 
members").  You've made it quite clear that you dismiss this advice.  
That is fine. Maybe Indiana is special and this advice doesn't apply or 
the Indiana designers know about all the interactions and the reviews 
will go smoothly.  Time will tell.

All I was trying to suggest that if you aren't motivated to "ARC early, 
ARC often" for everything, maybe it would be wise to do the few things 
you know will be controversial.

Dave C. (I know you're listening), perhaps you should discuss this with 
somebody higher up the food chain.  I just hate it when some mucky, 
mucky higher up the food chain says, "Why wasn't I told".  Thanks.
