These are a smart bunch, who I think will do a good job representing their respective groups (2 from Sun, 2 outside Sun, 1 from FLOSS). It also helps solidify that OpenSolaris is credible and on track, because these people are not industry lightweights and have long careers and established reputations.
If the trolls keep accusing Sun of lying about OpenSolaris, they are basically accusing these people directly, now. Good luck with that.
