That's lovely; you (plural) will phase out a stable packaging
subsystem in favor of a Python-cobbled together experiment that
explicitly DOES NOT ALLOW SCRIPTING.
I'd just like someone to tell me just how I'm supposed to remove my
Oracle database with an IPS package. And if anyone writes "SMF",
then I'd like to know just how exactly will I run an SMF method to
remove a database, when IPS doesn't allow scripting.
In closing, I'm convinced that IPS in his current shape or form is
one of the biggest technical mistakes in the history of SunOS.
Thanks for the feedback - have a great weekend.
