Dale,

I am very satisfied to stay in the realm of zoneadm/zonecfg and family. 
This is what I wanted to read:

Since zones (beta) was released with 020, we’ve been primarily focussed on other items required for 022, the most laborious of which is the Python 2.6 -> 2.7 upgrade. This is needed for a number of reasons. First, the benefits of getting off of 2.6 and on to 2.7 is self-explanatory, but 2.7 is also needed for being able to stay in sync with the pkg code, as well as the next big project for 022 - a loader-enabled installer (text installer and kayak) to replace the current one.
