It would likely help the project team if the specific hacks were pointed
out so that they could fix them. One that I'm personally aware of is in
/lib/svc/share/net_include.sh's net_reconfigure function:
#
# Ensure that the datalink-management service is running since
# manifest-import has not yet run for a first boot after
# upgrade. We wouldn't need to do that if manifest-import ran
# earlier in boot, since there is an explicit dependency
# between datalink-management and network/physical.
#
svcadm enable -ts network/datalink-management:default
There's an entire block of related code below this svcadm incantation
that also needs to be removed.
I ran a quick find in /lib/svc grepping for manifest-import, and found
that the ipfilter method script has an entire diatribe in its comments
section dedicated to the manifest-import problem. Someone needs to go
look into what that's all about and change it appropriately.
