Yup, that captures it correctly.
IPS cannot replace SVR4 packages without this issue
taken care of.
I'd call it a P1. Or else the support folks are in
for a fun time when it comes time to "patch" one of
the many /etc text files with IPS.
And to answer Danek's question about whether or not
a generic file assmebler is required - look in
$SRC/pkgdefs/common_files and tell me that one isn't.
I have to wonder if the need is so immediate given that we've been
delivering numerous OpenSolaris releases for over a year now without
this functionality.
Yes, I know that could change rapidly in the near future, especially as
the support releases evolve, but so far, it hasn't been a dire issue.
