I have a question. Is it the intention of this project to remove the
usage of the ipnodes file in just the ON consolidation, all the
consolidations, or none of them? I notice that there are instances of
the ipnodes file in ON that are not being removed by these code changes.
These will probably continue to work just fine because of the symlink,
but it seems odd to allow them to continue to use the ipnodes file
rather than to remove that usage.

Requesting code review for single hosts file (PSARC 2006/299,
CR# 6219146: /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes need
to be the same file.) Please send in your comments by COB
Mon July 24th.
Summary:
Requiring administrators to maintain two separate files
(/etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes) with IPv4 addresses always
in sync is causing confusion and problems. /etc/inet/hosts and
/etc/inet/ipnodes files will be merged and a single file (/etc/inet/hosts)
is used for storing all IP addresses. The /etc/inet/ipnodes file is
replaced as a symlink to /etc/inet/hosts for backwards compatibility.
If upgrading to Nevada /etc/inet/ipnodes entries are merged into
/etc/inet/hosts during pkg upgrade.
