Totally agree. We really need to have a process/roadmap ready to make
sure SFE specs are in good shape. The sfe mailing
list(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pkgbuild-sfe-devel)
seems to be a good start point that could address the code review issue
at least.

One thing not so clear to me is how we can maintain the package
dependency across sfe repo and the existing pkg.opensolaris.org repo.
