I've had to abuse the current actuator mechanism in IPS to prevent

I would like to start discussing a way to allow a service to
communicate to IPS that it is currently active, preventing pkg from
making any changes.
One idea we've had is to create an attribute for the entire package
(to prevent endlessly specifying files/directories). This attribute
would specify an SMF property and an associated failure value. Before
pkg would update/remove any files, it would check to see if the
property was set to the failure value. If it was, pkg would fail the
update/removal.
This doesn't make a lot of sense to me....
Why not simply mark samfs components w/ reboot-needed=true?
Can you elaborate on what this does and the sequence of events?
Thanks.
