Just want to add my voice to support what Laurent said.
In my observation many opensolaris contributors that employed by Sun
just do not appreciate enough how rough can the user experience of
other opensolaris contributors be at times. Only because they do not
have access to Sun corporate resources. (email @sun.com for example).
Making various shortcuts for Sun employees makes no good to community
in general. It does, however, help alienate non-Sun-employed
("external" as people at Sun call them [really pisses me off])
contributors.
