  Thanks for the bug reports.

  As David notes, the intent is to release the development versions on a
  build by build basis.  The supported 2008.05 version will involve
  changing to pkg.sun.com as an image's preferred authority, as soon as
  that facility is provisioned.  It will be easy to switch from
  pkg.sun.com to pkg.opensolaris.org to upgrade--image packaging already
  knows how to do this...
