I missed much of this thread and I'm not a PSARC member, so my vote
doesn't count here, but...
If you can avoid it, please don't split your delivery across

a potential need to coordinate integrations and/or where any future
orphaning that may occur. There are several components in SFW that
already deliver root packages with RBAC entries.
