It could be interesting to point people again, how to migrate from GNOME 
to MATE and from gdm to lightdm and other apps.
For now I know that one might install mate_install to pull MATE packages 
and use
$ pfexec svcadm disable gdm
$ pfexec svcadm enable lightdm    to switch display manager.

But actually, when issuing command to install mate_install I get this 
error message..
.. So how to actually install mate/lightdm?

$ pfexec pkg install -v mate_install > updatelogs/updatelog-mate_install.txt

pkg install: No matching version of mate_install can be installed:
   Reject:  pkg://openindiana.org/mate_install@0.1-2017.0.0.17
   Reason:  No version matching 'conditional' dependency 
diagnostic/diskinfo can be installed
     ----------------------------------------
     Reject: pkg://openindiana.org/diagnostic/diskinfo@0.5.11-2017.0.0.16768
                to
pkg://openindiana.org/diagnostic/diskinfo@0.5.11-2017.0.0.16964
     Reason:  This version is excluded by installed incorporation 
consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation at 0.5.11-2017.0.0.16350

And I don't even see diskinfo package installed anymore..
