True, but this is really a benefit for 'pkg update -n' which will go through the plan creation phase and inform users if a reboot is needed. If for some reason they want to update a group of packages but not perform a reboot this would enable them to determine which packages can be installed.
Shawn, your proposal looks very useful. If it can use the pkg.human-version that will make things even clearer for users. Providing a 'human version' and the actual FMRI is fine provided that the output does not become too verbose or confusing.
