I didn't see that as relevant given how the case morphed from a symlink 
to prstat to actually shipping the real top.

I shouldn't have to ask it is required information for an ARC case.

The basic information we would expect from any fast-track case. 
Specifically I want to see the following:

	* Package name
	* Taxonomy of top functionality:
		cli arguments
		package name
	* Install location of top - I assume it is /usr/bin/top but
	this must be explicit
