 First, all of this is discussed in gory detail in
 the spec if you need more info:

have you plan to deploy a complete how-to/document online to this new

 Is this true only on OpenSolaris? Or it applies to normal Nevada as
 well? Also, is this what's planned for S10 in the future?

 Zoram,

 This only applies to opensolaris.  Nothing has changed
 in nevada or S10 and these changes will never appear
 in either of those releases.  These changes are for
 ipkg-branded zones, which are only in opensolaris and
 which use IPS.  Nevada and s10 native-branded zones use
 SVR4 packaging to install and upgrade.

Will never appear ?

Let me laugh.  Are you really sure ?

Yes, we'll do that as part of the 08.11 release.

Perhaps 'never' is too strong, how about 'extremely unlikely'.

 How to identify is it OpenSolaris or Nevada? I've just finished LU from
 snv_85 to snv_99 and wondering will my zones boot or not when I switch
 to snv_99?

If you're using LU, then it's Nevada (Solaris Express).  If you're
using beadm and pkg to do your upgrades, then it's the OpenSolaris
distribution.
