Yes.  Among other things, the ARC is a useful repository of "common
rules."  So, when communities have things that they need to distribute
or evaluate across all of OpenSolaris, coming to the ARC is a good way
to do that.  That can happen as a side-effect of some project (via
"precedent") or as an intentional policy-setting case.
