This is great news. We should get these listed on the contribution grid 
http://opensolaris.org/os/bug_reports/request_sponsor/. Since these are 
already complete, I'll look into getting that done. And since more are 
on the way, you may want to consider using request-sponsor so Bonnie 
sees these as they flow through and she'll automatically post them.
