In this particular case, I doubt that you are going to cause any real
harm if the SFW and ON bits are ever out of sync, but by splitting the
delivery, you are all but guaranteeing that it will happen at some
time. The RBAC bits for this in ON are almost certainly going to be
forgotten. If they are in SFW in packaging related to the component,
they more likely to be attended to. Aside from that, by packaging them
in a root package in SFW, you can add/remove the RBAC data with the
functionality. If you simply put it in ON and leave it up to SUNWcsr to
install, you leave potentially orphaned entries in the RBAC data that
may or may not become a problem down the road. Finally, it seems to me
that if/when IPS provides a better answer for delivering file fragments,
we will want those fragments in with the functionality that they are
supporting. Just my $0.02
