Is Visual Panels an SMF GUI?

No, Visual Panels isn't an SMF GUI.  SMF plays an integral role in Visual Panels -- just like SMF plays an integral role in the running of an OpenSolaris system -- but it isn't the ideal model for a
configuration tool.  Many configurable things necessarily exist outside of SMF (think of users and groups defined in a name service), and those things which are under SMF's thumb are broken up into functional chunks, not into intuitive configurable units.

My question isn't here, where can I ask it?
