Looking at the resulting manifest for SUNWcs, the default transform should be making sure that the group membership continues to be delivered, this time with requisite consistency:

buffyg at buffyg.uk.openindiana.org:/repo/illumos-1125/packages/i386/nightly/repo.redist$ pkg contents -m -s file://. SUNWcs | nawk 'NR  == 1 || $NF ~/usr\/share$ 
/ || $NF ~ /usr\/share\/lib$/' 
set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg://openindiana.org/SUNWcs@0.5.11,5.11-0.151:20110523T153305Z 
dir group=sys mode=0755 owner=root path=usr/share 
dir group=sys mode=0755 owner=root path=usr/share/lib

I was less (least?) sure of what to do in this case. I reckon the case is pretty compelling that perl5.8 should/must die, but I can understand why removing the manifest may not be the right way to get there. I take it that something needs to happen, either to declare them obsolete or perhaps to exclude the packages via the consolidation manifest. I'm still learning IPS and would be appreciative of any pointers to documentation on applicable mechanics.

Cheers,
Bayard
