You can create services via svccfg(1M) without using a manifest. As
long as that's the case then it should be possible to delete services
via 'svccfg delete fmri'.
Q1: How is delmanifest implemented w/ regards to RBAC? Must svccfg(1M)
run with privilege in order to perform delmanifest, or is this
implemented as a door call to svc.configd? If there are multiple
repositories, which one gets the door call?
Q2: If a service delivered via a manifest is deleted via 'svccfg delete
fmri', will it be re-imported on reboot, or will SMF remember that
the deleted fmri's associated manifest is not to be imported?
