Can we agree that the perfect should not be the enemy of the good
here? Telling people to review *something* is better than doing
nothing, then waiting for a mechanism that (as Shawn pointed out) we
don't really have.
We have what's left of this week to do something here for the BTS
release. I'd like to close this issue so that I can get to code review
and get this in. If there are strong objections, I'd like folks to
speak up by Noon PT tomorrow (thursday).
I'm seeking agreement that we're going to place the following message
and question in the image-update path:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: image-update of a system should be performed only after reviewing
upgrade notes posted at:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you reviewed the upgrade notes? [y,n,q]
I'm working to ensure that this message fires at the correct times, and
have noted to the GUI folks that they should do likewise.
