That then begs the question of how driver updates would be added to a S11
system. The mechanism is still rather useful, especially for our oem partners.
Providing a pkg(5) package is preferred. Building a custom media with
Distro Constructor is always a fallback.

Looking through a ton of check-deps.pl noise tonight, I saw:
*** /usr/bin/itu (system/core-os) requires /usr/sbin/pkgadd which is found
in package/svr4, but that is not listed as a package dependency.
And indeed it has a bunch of references to pkgadd, patchadd and pkgtrans - has
anyone looked at this to see if works at all with an IPS based system? The ISO
image creation seems like it should be replaced by distro-constructor.
These tools ($SRC/cmd/itutools) are designed to assist developers
or I[SH]Vs with creating Driver Update disks - so they can provide
support for Solaris 10 Updates.
Shouldn't they be doing that on Solaris 10 then, where these tools might say,
work?
The driver update functionality is intended to be able to apply ITU/DU format
drivers if possible, but yeah, there's no reason we should be shipping tools to
create them on S11.
