I'm not sure which part of 'these' you're referring to: - an evaluation of moving existing dns/server service properties onto the instance is appropriate/possible in the face of my upgrade concern - templates - the fix which allows 2 manifest files with the same service to not stomp on each others properties - some sort of instance cloning - a better solution for configuration sharing among multi-implementation and multi-instance services But, I'd expect that they'd be delivered in roughly that order into Nevada. Templates should go into Nevada within the next few months, but aside from that it's more hazy. What gets backported into S10 is a question we answer after we integrate the fix into Nevada; obviously a support contract can help influence the decision. liane -- Liane Praza, Solaris Kernel Development liane.praza at sun.com - http://blogs.sun.com/lianep
