The only impact is that the publisher's selected repository (e.g. pkg.opensolaris.org/dev) will not receive a unique identifier for the client (we won't send one in the http headers), and so has no way to guaranteed identify a set of transactions as being for that same client. Eventually, there is a plan to allow the depot to reject connections from clients that don't supply one per-administrator policy. This is intended for use by corporate clients, etc. Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
