I can't imagine why, but there's a good reason not to include
it - it will be wrong if the package is ever put into a Solaris
release which gets updates via patches (like Solaris 10) - the
patches don't update the pkginfo. (Spoken with the experience
of someone still cursing his decision to list the PKGVERS in pkginfo
as 6.8.0 in the Solaris 10 Xorg packages and still getting questions
from people who assume that's the version delivered in Solaris 10
despite patches upgrading to 7.2 and beyond.)
