Nowhere did I mention PSARC - we have the OpenSolaris ARC Community
that has this responsibility - a community that does not (and
does not need to) map to strictly PSARC, or vice-versa.

In the OS.o world, communities are the key players; communities
that maintain associated consolidations (like ON, X, Desktop, ...)
are the ones that I expect would make the "need to ARC" decision.

The ARC community has PSARC and LSARC members/interns/licensees
as contribs and core contribs; it also has quite a few more participants,
some of which are (or should be) very close to making the step up
to Contributer and Core Contributer.
