I'm skeptical of automatic service deletion. If the service is deleted but the manifest isn't, won't the service get re-imported next time manifest-import gets run? If so, then there needs to be some way for the service to say that it shouldn't be re-imported. As for automatic package removal, that seems even more dubious. The package would be on the system either because a user explicitly asked for it, or because it satisfied a dependency. We shouldn't be in the business of removing packages without asking if we were explicitly told it should be on the system, and we shouldn't be in the business of breaking dependencies (see numerous previous threads for arguments). > Can't the IPS SMF actuator have an option to enable disabled to-be- > pinged services?
