The user would add Sun as a publisher,

If the user tried to add the release stream from opensolaris.org while the dev stream was active, pkg would error and inform the user that those two streams were incompatible according to the publisher. The publisher could define those incompatibilities both for streams it produces and the streams of other publishers. This is how the support stream would be handled since it (at least right now) seems to be published by Sun, rather than opensolaris.org. While within publisher incompatibilities might be common, between publisher ones should be rare.

maybe I'm missing part of the picture here: how do you propose the (hopefully rapidly evolving) matrix of interacting (in)compatibilities be maintained?
