there is currently no RFE filed for the system repo.  i'll get an RFE
filed on this.

the system repo is a requirement for secure zones upgrade.
theoretically the system repo could run over any transport, but domain
sockets is a natural choice for supporting zones since it doesn't make
any assumptions about the network configuration associated with zones.
(scratch zones have no networking, and there's no guarantee that regular
zones will have network access to the global zone.)
