I'm sure John knows what I'm about to ask....  what about LSARC members &
interns who review cases in the Desktop, X, & SFW consolidations/communities
of OpenSolaris?  (Of course, throwing in the twist that as of last week
LSARC merged with WSARC, increasing even more the number of non-OpenSolaris
cases LSARC reviews - the newly merged ARC covers portions of OpenSolaris,
NetBeans, Sun Studio, Glassfish, Java Enterprise System, Java CAPS, N1,
xVM, and more.)
