Just to set expectations here...

The SC manifest is a stop-gap implemented to provide the minimal system 
configuration equivalent to that provided by the GUI installer, and is 
not intended to be equivalent to sysidcfg (which itself presents a 
fairly eclectic set of capabilities, I might add, and thus isn't a 
particularly appropriate design goal anyway).  The intent is that this 
will be deprecated and an implementation based on SMF Enhanced Profiles 
will be the long-term answer.  As such, we're likely to provide only 
absolutely critical extensions to the SC manifest because it's 
throw-away work.  It would be helpful to differentiate between the 
"interesting" things noted in 6436 and ones that actually are required 
for critical use cases.
