They're not in conflict, at least. We want to have packages represent minimal, coherent groups of functionality. This is why we'd like to see SUNWcs, SUNWcsl, etc, broken up. But we also would like to have auxiliary bits -- like man pages or developer-oriented bits -- to be available in the base package, so you don't have to go hunting for what package they might be in. That breaks up SUNWman, but redistributes its contents into the packages representing the various functional components.
