Would that belong in /etc? Right. While manifests are definitions, profiles are arguably configuration thus the new location for profiles should be under /etc/svc/profile.
EMI will not process manifests or profiles under /var since /var may be a separate filesystem that is not available when EMI runs. Manifests and profiles under /var will still be processed by the current system/manifest-import service. -tony
