As a "wild west" contribution, something that nobody has a right to
expect will work in any integrated fashion with the rest of Solaris,
I've got no problem with that.  Heck, I don't even want to hear about
it in the ARC.

As something asking to deliver with the OS as an integrated component,
I've got a problem.  It does need to fit in, and we cannot ignore the
effect it has on other projects.
