Hi,

While I was evaluating the process to upgrade our AI environment I was 
surprised to discover that upgrading SUNWinstalladm-tools requires an OS 
upgrade.

depend fmri=SUNWcs at 0.5.11-0.124 type=require
depend fmri=SUNWcsl at 0.5.11-0.124 type=require

This seems a heavy requirement to me, since I don't believe there is any 
privileged / kernel code in the package. It  maintains a database of 
services and clients and configures a web server, it's nearly all python 
code... more user-land than kernel.

I'm curious why this tool set would be tightly coupled to a particular 
build of the OS.
