Right -- you need to use /etc/path_to_inst to get the rest of the
information.

That's possible -- or the Ap_Id, though machines that aren't DR-capable
won't have that AFAIK.

I think it commits us to the initial phase, and says that we plan to do
the other phases -- but without a timeframe, there isn't a firm commitment
for those.  The core intent is to explain to PSARC that we're proposing a
phased approach to rolling out vanity names to reduce risk.
