As long as it it impossible to implement the arc decisions in OpenSolaris,
OpenSolaris cannot evolve.

You have to verify that the way it is currently handled actually works.
My impression is that it is either impossible to integrate stuff at all

would ask me now, I could only say "it does not work".

Think about how to find a way to change this....
