The installer will still work, it's just that SUNWslim-utils' contents will still be present in the installed image, which is harmless. > > If not it may not be that crucial but it could turn out to be handy for > diag-ing issues. > Without active maintenance the SVR4 version is likely to break before too many builds, as its boot archive construction method is much too fragile. Given the other things we actually need to do, I'm not inclined to spend our time maintaining it. Once we get the prototype out and get the install code out in an hg repo, I'm expecting to move SUNWslim-utils build into that repo, see about sending SUNWDTraceToolkit to SFW, and abandon the slim_prototype repo.
