This transform adds 'manger.man.stability="pass-through volatile"' to 
the man page entries in the package manifest.  Those attributes are 
consumed by the userland-mangler, which post-processes the files being 
packaged prior to packaging them. This specific attribute specifies the 
Solaris interface taxonomy of the interface described in the man page.  
If you read the standards(5) man page, it describes Solaris interface 
taxonomy. Virtually all of the open source software that was in Solaris 
had a taxonomy that let folks know that it was subject to incompatible 
change more or less at any time because Solaris was at the mercy of the 
upstream.  I'm not sure what level of commitment to interface taxonomy 
OI adopts, so it might make sense to just drop this information in OI.
