I agree. The problem here is, that at the moment if the sysrepo breaks,
then zones-proxyd goes offline. Then all of the zones-proxy-client
services will drop to maintenance and need to be manually cleared in
each zone on the system once the sysrepo is fixed.
Now, if that's acceptable, then there's no need to do anything - we're
just under the impression that the administrative overhead of having to
manually fix each zone on the system is too much to bear?
