By doing just that - that is exactly the way things have always
worked, both inside Sun, and at OpenSolaris.  We encourage them to
come to ARC earlier, rather than later, so they don't spend too much
time implementing things that ARC suggests they change or that ARC
points out someone else is already doing - but the only actual hard
requirement is that it happen before integration.
