    That's how I bootstrap new bloody releases (e.g. 151011 from 151010).  Never done it officially moving 006/008 up to 010.

    I don't think so, because:

    	1.) OI uses a different package name, numbering, and possibly even contents in some corner cases.

    	2.) I've never tried anything even close to it.

    I moved my home server from OI to OmniOS when I started work here (see http://kebesays.blogspot.com/2014/06/home-data-center-20-dogfooding-again.html), and I just exported the data pool, reinstalled the system, took config files by hand from the OI rpool, and moved forward.

    I'm VERY glad the alt-BE approach worked out okay.  I also use that approach to upgrade my zones.  The downside to that is if you have operational data in the rpool/BE, it won't all move over when you upgrade.  The OmniOS wiki recommendation for upgrading zones mitigates operational amnesia, at the cost of downtime.
