Hi everyone.

Will the pkg command eventually have a way of explicitly excluding a 
package from a requested cluster?

As an example, suppose cluster_fmri is a cluster "package" which 
specifies many packages, including pkg_fmri.  Will there be a way to 
specify cluster_fmri while excluding pkg_fmri from being installed 
(assuming nothing depends on pkg_fmri)?  Something like this:

    pkg install cluster_fmri -x pkg_fmri

This would be useful for installers and programs like the 
Distro-constructor, which might want to selectively exclude certain 
functionality from an otherwise complete system without having to 
specify long lists of packages or having to worry about dependencies.

    Thanks,
    Jack
