I think that applies to PSARC as well.

Yep.  I just don't see any particularly useful distinctions that the
ARC could draw between "open-by-default" and "open-but-not-
opensolaris."  Other than perhaps getting the cc-lists right, why
should the ARC necessarily care what community is involved?  (And for
that issue, all open cases smell the same; we need to know whom to
copy.)
