You can't do that in a patch, generally.  Rejuvenation would perhaps be 
a workaround, but we try not to do that.

Correct.

The latter is your preferred option for an update because of the patch 
creation that it implies.  It's probably somewhat preferable in the case 
of SUNWcnetr, because it's basically a grab bag at present, but it's 
probably less appetizing in the case of SUNWipfr.
