The *distros* have not elected to deliver SVR4 packages, and furthermore, we don't have tools *in-tree* to generate SVR4 packages from the IPS manifests, but I submit writing such a tool would be a nearly trivial matter.  (In fact, I've written a tool that parses IPS manifests to build a distribution for my company, although it lacks any packaging metadata, as our "distro" is just an ISO.  But I could have just as easily emitted pkginfo and prototype files to generate SVR4 package binaries.)  We *do* have most (all?) of the SVR4 tool set in-tree though.

You may like to reread my mail.......

support for "SVr4 packaging" would of course include creating SVR4 packages
for illumos. 

Keeping the binaries does not give full support.
