Speaking of which, though... how does IPS do anything different for

through "Http" type urls?
Repositories accessed via 'file:///' scale better because NFS and
local disk access are all in-kernel. But most importantly, in those
cases, the client won't (and doesn't need to) create a local copy of
retrieved data in /var/pkg/publisher/$name/file so there's
significantly less read/write I/O.
So, I think you are saying, that connecting to a
svc:/application/pkg/server:default
is no longer the best way to go?
It also sort of begs a followup question of, if this isnt the best way
any more, then how about oracle starts offering an "anonymous nfs" type
url for pkg.oracle.com ?
