But does that really apply here? They say application is higher level 
apps like apache. The question is,
are we more of a higher level app or an OpenSolaris system service? 
Since we're definitely OpenSolaris
that tends to lead me that way. Anyone else have a thought?

Since my SMF experience aligns with the ON gate I picked accordingly. I 
just checked and
coreadm and dumpadm leave their SMF manifest/methods in the base 
directory. For ease
of ON checkin as you mentioned, I'm planning on following that methodology.
