This same question* could apply to just about any of the Web Stack features. It should be obvious why SMF is used (friendlier than generic SysV init, supports some level of customization of the service without the user having to edit files, etc.) *I think this is a question of fully utilizing SMF security features, along with potentially maintaining patches to some of the open source code to bypass their own cross-platform security implementation, and needing to help users understand why our delivery of a familiar server is supposed to operate differently than they are accustomed.
