then there is no architectural problem

Just having to compile `lsof` every time the kernel rev changes is already too much overhead.

If you (or your peers at work) are not able or willing to retest
and redeliver lsof every time the kernel rev changes, then you
(obviously) do not have a viable plan to include lsof into your
local OpenSolaris builds.

My point was that the requirement to keep it up to date is a
fundamental part of putting it "in" .  If you have a commitment
to do that work, then the risks can be managed.  Without it,
they can't.

If its architecture/design is such that it can't coexist easily
with the rest of the system, or if it is too chaotic to sustain,
then it follows that it is too chaotic to integrate in the first
place....
