No, I think Phil is right here.  As much as restricting ourselves to
/opt/csw would also restrict overall usefulness, it's the only policy
(in my current thinking) that wouldn't open a big nasty can of worms.

It'd be great to replace /usr/lib/sendmail using these mechanisms, but
if other packages aren't aware of the system, it really wouldn't help
much anyway.

Thanks
