I think there is a compatibility issue. Prior to this project the g-z could share a zone's resources, now either, but not both of the g-z and the ngz will be able to share a zone's resources. Thus if a conflicting share exists in the g-z then the ngz will not be able to share the same resource (with what error message?), or, alternatively, the g-z will not be able to ever share what it used to be able to (incompatible change). Given the importance of this feature I don't really care which incompatible behavior results :) It does seem to me that preventing the booting of a zone whose resources are shared by the g-z is a good idea, along with preventing the g-z from sharing a booted ngz's resources.
