This is not surprising. most of the *complex* postinstall/preinstall scripts 
  are for heavy applications/demon/server processes, which sun has 
historically not shipped or deal with well in that fashion.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world tends to to like that sort of thing being 
taken care of by the package installation process where possible.

In other words, just because ON/Nevada/Opensolaris doesnt appear to need a 
feature in IPS, doesnt mean that feature is pointless.
