That's GREAT to hear.

+1. (That can not be overemphasized if you ask me.)
I'm not sure Nexenta's implementation is the way to go though. It seems
to me that Phil's pkg-get -- being designed around Sun's implementation
of the SVr4 packaging standard -- seems like the better candidate, or
maybe something new based on the patch software (that is currently used
for updating Solaris)...
