Originally, the changes to utilities identified by PSARC/2007/315 as 
needing to support the new extended system attributes were scheduled to 
be putback in onnv after CIFS integration in onnv.  However, due 
scheduling changes, these changes will be putback into the CIFS gate 
prior to it's integration into onnv.  In order to extend test/soak time, 
cases are being prepared as needed to putback completed code to the CIFS 
gate.

Some groups of utilities will naturally fall together and will be 
submitted as one case for several utilities; others will be submitted on 
a utility by utility basis. Based on current knowledge of the work 
underway and the CIFS schedule, it is expected there will be 2 more 
cases fairly quickly, and one (or two) cases later to add support for 
extended system attributes to utilities not mentioned in the original 
extended system attributes case.
