For those who aren't familiar with the terminology, a flag day
represents an incompatible change to software.  In this case, you need
to use a new solaris.py to provide multi-architecture packages, and a
new client to cope with the format change.

Opensolaris has a definition of flag days here:

The New Hacker's Dictionary also has a relevant entry:
