As Liane often points out, onu should NOT be growing additional

the interfaces people should be using. This script is a crutch,

become the new bfu.
I remember when all I had to do was point bfu at my nightly archives and
run acr after. It would be nice if onu had options that made life that
easy (what I mean by that is a flag that blew away the publishers and
set things up to use locally running pkg.depotd's as long as a valid
path was provided via -d).
Which publishers should it remove though, some systems will have more
than just opensolaris.org and on-nightly. Maybe it is safe to just
remove the on-nightly and on-extra publishers, but what if they actually
point to an http:// or file:// repository ?
Personally I hate -d and now that we have support for file:// based
repositories I'm of the opinion that -d should go away since it always
results in hassle for me later (like when tests suites try and install
additional things like expect using 'pkg install' it will fail).
If onu gets "too smart" it is in serious danger of becoming bfu again,
and that must not happen.
