  I was reserving the namespace for future work involving potential
  additional method types.
  
  Capture methods were for configuration migration; I'm still not
  certain this approach is viable, since the conditions restricting when
  the capture method should be allowed to run are unclear.

  The monitor directory is for monitor method commands, when smf(5) gets
  a full service monitor spec.  Monitors and transitions, which I think
  have been mentioned on the alias before, are closely related.
