[In regards to a recent PSARC filed self-review case] I believe this may be the first case that officially refers to (the defacto state of) an OpenSolaris distribution and delivery platform that's never been fully disclosed to the ARC. While I do not care at this time to get into semantics about what that means to the "community" at large or to the ARC itself, I would like to pose a practical question to both ARC bodies that operate "openly". How do we review cases that target the OpenSolaris(tm) repositories? Is the "published" material from the installation community sufficient to provide background material? Is there truly no internal-only material or information that is currently being used or would be used? If I have questions about the delivery vehicle itself (release modes, release architecture, integration, etc), do I ever get to raise them, and if so, in what forum or manner?
I'm honestly not trying to pick on the other project. I've just been (sadly) expecting the day when cases would come through mentioning "/Solaris.Next" explicitly without ever having defined that in a way that provides knowledge that can be applied practically. My intention here is to raise the general question without derailing the case which mentions Solaris.Next repositories so profoundly -- and which for every other intent and purpose sounds like a perfectly valid and completely obvious self-review case.
