They may not be my apps to package. They may not even be an app. This forces everything that I want to install onto Solaris to adhere the the new packaging paradigm. It simply isn't going to happen. How many of our ISVs have written SMF manifests for their apps? How many of them even provide the apps in SVR4 Pkg format?
