I looked a little at the code. I don't think the separation is that clean at all, unfortunately. TBH, I think the way we handled the CUPS dependency in SMB is also a little unfortunate, and I'm not sure I want to make more cases like that.
In the case of wanboot, I don't think anyone besides Joerg is using it. And, as I've indicated already, neither Joerg nor I consider that his product is an illumos downstream, so he'll be unaffected.
