I -know- ARC review is required for interface changes, but I would have
thought there would have to have been some wider review of a major
change like what I'm proposing. Somehow it just sounds "too easy". :-)
It might help to remember that there are two distinct types or
definitions of "architecture development/review" in play here:
Internally focused on the component or feature being developed
(i.e., component architecture),
and
Externally focused on the impact that this change will have on
the systems that incorporate it (i.e., systems architecture)
The development team and its community are responsible for all of the
former; the ARCs (really, the leaders of all the related development
communities) are responsible for the latter.
Adding to the confusion is that most of the people that are on the
ARCs are also active in their own community's architecture efforts; we
simply need to be aware of which hat they are wearing at any given
point :-)
