1. it's nice to not have to install 1gb of updates on each test system we 
install
2. we install onto dell servers, which currently requires the manual install of 
the mega_lsi driver... which is now included with >snv90
3. if a new user installs 2008.5, IPS is fairly broken- main bugs that i'm 
aware of are:
* no local package cache
* does not handle repo timeouts cleanly 
* installs packages that don't belong to current snv release, e.g., if i 
install 2008.5, then do pkg install SUNWapache (without first installing the 
new ips...) it will install SUNWapache from snv91

I'm sure there are some other ips bugs... but these are pretty serious deal 
killers for new users
