Sven, what specifically are you trying to avoid which requires a reboot (Besides the obvious kernel upgrade which would for all modern general purpose operating systems require a reboot)?
Some things may (Or may not) suggest a reboot (Such as an upgrade to HAL which affects a large subset of desktop software) but you can certainly just restart respective SMF services for almost all cases. A reboot should not be necessary unless you're upgrading the kernel, or if there's a gigantic number of updated SMF manifests which are hard to track specifically and restart without causing headaches, but even there a diligent system administrator should be able to deal with it. When you do an upgrade via lu (Live Upgrade) a reboot is recommended and usually necessary because it will upgrade the kernel components, as the ISO spins are for as long as Sun has been putting out builds been based on work done have always tracked such critical pieces with feverish and non-stopping pace. Of all the umbrella components of OpenSolaris, "ON" will never stop being developed.
