That was not my intention. I'll reword this. The source system must be a S10 or above (something that zone "update on attach" will handle). > Will config files be removed or will services just be disabled (and > hollow packages removed)?

Where possible, things will be disabled, but for SMF services delivered in hollow pkgs, those services must be removed due to the way the SMF dependencies are defined. Disabling those services doesn't work. V2P is something we've talked about but is outside the scope of this specific proposal. In general we'll try to leave enough info behind so that a future v2p could be done, but that automated tool won't be part of this initial project. Also, hollow pkgs are not removed. Those pkgs appear to be installed within zones. It is just the SMF services delivered by those pkgs which will be removed.
