I noticed that pkg:/system/data/timezone has a bunch of file actions

If the value of preserve is true (or a value not

existing file is left alone, and the new file is
not installed.
It would seem as though
true == strawberry == false
Which makes me think that this is bad. The "defaults" transform in
userland adds it:
51 # zoneinfo files
52 #
53<transform file path=usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/.+ -> default mode 0644>
54<transform file path=usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/.+ -> default preserve
false>
Line 54 should be whacked, right? If not, what am I missing?
These lines look wrong to me. The zoneinfo files shouldn't be writable
and there is no need for a preserve attribute. It looks like the mode
transform was replicated from ON when the zoneinfo files moved to
userland and the preserve attribute would have been added to make
pkglint happy because the userland gate checks require you to declare
your intention when you make a file writable. There is no reason for
these files to be writable, these transforms should probably be
removed. Please file a bug under solaris/utility/timezone.
