No, that should be "open" exposure.  When a case is "open," it's
supposed to be white-listed.  It's all open material, and people
commenting on it are duty-bound to avoid doing non-open things.

"Manual" exposure requires changes to the materials in order to open
things, which requires more work.

It's supposed to.  That's why the older checks for 'Sun Proprietary'
notices were so stringent -- we only wanted to make sure that clear
and blatant errors were flagged, not every passing reference to the
concept of proprietary data.

I think John Plocher tried to point that out earlier.
