The above is no longer applicable in the case of IPS-based systems as complete control, using AI or distro-constructor, over the choice of packages (constrained by build and require dependencies of course) is available. > B) install Solaris patches ... > D) Patch installed products where patches are Solaris style patches or simply > new > executables replacing old executables. Patches no longer exist in the IPS era. Putting custom files into place is reasonable, as long as those files are not replacing files in existing packages (that aren't meant to be edited, such as configuration file) -- that will just cause unending grief.
