There are a number of packages on the revised list which seem eligible
to be moved to the repository.  Most of these are servers of some sort
and it's not clear how useful they are from the Live CD context
(although I could imagine some creative uses of the NFS server in this
case).  Anyway, here's the list as I see it

SUNWbsr         Boot Server daemons (Root)
SUNWbsu         Boot Server daemons (Usr)

        Legacy network boot servers.

SUNWbtool       CCS tools bundled with SunOS

        Tools used for development; since we're not including other
        such tools...

SUNWcnsr        Common Network Services (Root): time, daytime, echo, discard,
SUNWcnsu        Common Network Services (Usr): time, daytime, echo, discard,

        Trivial network services that seem to add new value in the live
        context.

SUNWftpr        FTP Server, (Root)
SUNWftpu        FTP Server, (Usr)

        I can understand the FTP client but not the server.

SUNWlibmr       Math Library Lint Files (Root)

        Package contains only lint libraries.

SUNWnfsskr      Network File System (NFS) server kernel support (Root)
SUNWnfssr       Network File System (NFS) server support (Root)
SUNWnfssu       Network File System (NFS) server support (Usr)

        NFS client support, definitely; NFS server in the live context,
        I'd like to hear about some use cases.

SUNWsshdr       SSH Server, (Root)
SUNWsshdu       SSH Server, (Usr)

        How often do people SSH into a system booted off a live CD?

SUNWtnetd       Telnet Server Daemon (Usr)
SUNWtnetr       Telnet Server Daemon (Root)

        Again, I can definitely see including the client but why the
        server?
