I fully support the changes described here, but I have a couple of
comments/questions about minor details.
1. The man page should document the specific authorizations needed, just
as it used to document the specific privilege. It's fine to mention that
the Maintenance and Repair profile provides these authorizations, but
they could be provided by other profiles also. [In other words, the
authorization name is the real interface, not the profile name.]

Suggest: Only users and roles with the solaris.smf.manage.coreadm and
solaris.smf.value.coreadm authorizations can use this option.
2. The text below may imply more than you intended:
> + /var/cores
> +
> + Default depository for core files.

It appears that this case creates the /var/cores directory but doesn't
change the default core file pattern to put core files there. Unless
I've overlooked that part of the proposal, the wording used at the end
of the man page is probably better: "Directory provided for global core
file storage"
