Mike knows all of this I believe, so this is mainly for others:

In my mind the key things that seem to be missing for it to be able to take the baton from Solaris 10 are:
...
- The ability to host all of the media required on my own install servers
Planned; non-technical issues have made this difficult. It was provided for the 2009.06 release.
- The ability to install software from a file
Missed 2010.03; already in progress for the next.
- Speed improvements for pkg command, particularly on CMT
There have been significant performance improvements to the point where many operations can take less than a second (or 500ms even) now on x86 systems. However, significant optimisation work remains for SPARC/CMT.
- Package signing to ensure integrity of bits delivered.
Tentatively scheduled for the next release.
- Refactor package names
Coming in the next build or so I believe. Some of this has already been done.
