This is what I'd intended :) Sorry for the lack of clarity in my previous post 
about renaming apachectl to apachectl.private. My intention was to provide SMF 
support via apachectl for options where it was possible e.g.

% svcadm enable apache2
% apachectl stop

I didn't intend to suggest that all other options of apachectl be 
disabled/removed. The apachectl that I had in mind was that it was a 
combination of
a) being a wrapper around SMF commands for options that could be mapped to SMF
b) being a wrapper around apachectl.private for the other options

Yes. I was thinking of something along the lines of adding support for an 
additional flag to configure Apache e.g. --enable-smf
