I was trying to relax and I realized we would have an ongoing problem in keeping the new ssh://anon@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/nfsv41/nfs41-gate in sync with our copy of the closed binaries. But, I think we will be saved by a couple of things:

1. We don't update the internal nfs41-gate automatically with every change in the onnv-gate. We actually normally sync up with the 2 week releases. This means that random changes to the closed source will not impact the osol gate. As a matter of fact, we control when a change causes a respin of the closed bits.
2. Just like the ON gatekeepers tag their gate every 2 weeks, we could also use 'hg tag' to mark when the closed binaries changed. We could store the closed binaries on the project download page and when an external developer saw the tag change, they could then pick up a new copy

Plus with setting the mail to go out to the dev mailing list, people would be able to see a need to pickup a new set of closed binaries.
