Does it mean that SMF Profiles will be like MS Windows registry? In this case some SQLite files probably etc.? No text files for easy editing with vi-like editors? Problem restoring after corruption of SQLite data files?
Yes the SMF repository is a binary data base. However there are XML files that are used to populate that and there are methods to ensure a rebuild happens when necessary (corruption or new data in the xml files).
That isn't going to change based on this proposal. This proposal is about extending what is already there. The SMF profiles today just impact the enabled status of a service that is in the SMF repository. SMF services already have these options. This proposal is just about extending the profiles so that the profile can override the default options or the service.
BTW if you really want to do this with text files you can still do that by exporting the SMF repository to XML editing and reimporting.
