Another separate question: Do we have any guidance on when group/system packages can be used? Is it strictly for use as part of zones installations, or could these be also used as "metacluster" replacements for updating a system after an initial installation?

These are the intended replacements for the old auto_install,
server_install and slim_install although they have different semantics
as they're implmented as true "group" packages - as such, they do not
need to be uninstalled from the system and you can uninstall (modulo
other dependencies) the packages grouped within.

The "solaris-small-server" package is not yet available for installing
a full OS on the metal/hypervisor but is only used for zone
installation.  We'll be filling it in with the missing pieces to make
it available as a true OS group package in a few builds.
