That the repository you're editing need not be directly related to
/var/svc/manifest on the system where you're editing that repo. You
don't want to damage a system just because you want to delete an FMRI
and associated manifest on another system's repo using svccfg(1M).
Perhaps what should happen is this:
... delmanifest(...)
{
...
if (!is_system_repo(repo))
record_delmanifest(repo, fmri);
else
delete_fmri_and_manifest(repo, fmri);
...
}
And at startup svc.config should check if the repo is the system repo,
and if it is then perform delayed delmanifest actions recorded by
record_delmanifest().
