	IMO, the question of relevance still applies both to why are
	we including this and why shouldn't it be using the keychain.

	Is there some reason to have this checkbox piece of SW that
	is warned to be Alpha quality and seems quite out of date?

	Probably Self Review is optimistic.  It seems clear this is
	not current architectural technology.  Why should it be part
	of the single Solaris bucket?
	Is the project team prepaired to bring it up to date with current
	technology and support it as part of Solaris?
