We've always said (the JET team), if you've already got it working for 
you there's little point converting to JET. Some customers have moved to 
it when moving from bootp to dhcp based SPARC and x64 builds, and 
sometimes JET has workarounds to new "features" in Solaris as they come 
out, which makes it easier over time, but
a lot of the customers I work directly with have their own large, 
complex and very impressive Jumpstart infrastructures which work 
perfectly for them. I can grab JET code snippets to quickly help them 
add/change things in their own infrastructure. If it ain't broke, don't 
fix it.
