If I may throw in my two cents, I think it would be nice to have a repository setup to take every build, essentially doing for IPS installations what SXCE is for older-type installs. I had first thought that /dev served this purpose, but it seems that when a build candidate is snapshotted for an OpenSolaris 20XX.XX release, it serves as that snapshot and baseline instead. I would think that a temporary repository of sorts (/rc perhaps?) could be created when an upcoming OpenSolaris 20XX.XX is being prepared and tested. My apologies if I am rehashing an old discussion that has already been put to bed.
