That's a really good question.  As recently as a few weeks ago, I
thought that someone was going to integrate such a fix to bridge the gap
between now and when NWAM Phase 1 delivers.  I think the RE decided that
Phase 1 was close enough that he didn't want to pursue it.

That said, I can sponsor this change for you if you'd like...  Do you
know if the current NWAM daemon has any adverse side-effects to these
link classes being brought online?  Does it try and configure IP
interfaces on them before your zones boot?  If not, then modifying the
script as you suggest would seem to be a fine interim fix.
