Downloading 1.3 gigabytes of updates isn't a problem for me, but for
users with unstable or slow internet connections, it is.  Not to
mention, if you have more than one machine, you need to download the
updates on each individually (unless ofc I'm missing something).

Downloading things once instead of many times is nice.  With Debian, I
can set up a local package proxy and fetch things only once, but I
don't think there's anything like that for OpenSolaris yet.  A general
proxy like Squid would probably work, but compared to the ease of
apt-cacher or approx it's a little trickier to deal with.
