05:49:54 <jclulow> bahamat: SMF properties are actually a pretty great mechanism for declarative configuration.  If you're using some configuration management platform it really just needs a way to interact with libscf, which gives you a typed key value store with transactions.
05:50:17 <jclulow> You get things for free then, like "do I need to restart this service to get the new properties in there or have I already done that"
05:50:36 <jclulow> I think the mistake is people usually try to do it in shell 
05:51:07 <jclulow> When really you want a program that more directly diffs and interacts with the repository
05:51:19 <jclulow> and the snapshots and transactions and so on
06:02:29 <sjorge> saltstack at least use to have some svcs manipelation options
06:02:49 <sjorge> (because I added it wrapping around svccfg and svcadm)
06:03:11 <sjorge> I stopt using salt so not sure it still exists
