This transform adds 'manger.man.stability="pass-through volatile"' to the man page entries in the package manifest.  Those attributes are consumed by the userland-mangler, which post-processes the files being packaged prior to packaging them. This specific attribute specifies the Solaris interface taxonomy of the interface described in the man page.  If you read the standards(5) man page, it describes Solaris interface taxonomy. Virtually all of the open source software that was in Solaris had a taxonomy that let folks know that it was subject to incompatible change more or less at any time because Solaris was at the mercy of the upstream.  I'm not sure what level of commitment to interface taxonomy OI adopts, so it might make sense to just drop this information in OI.
