Heads-up: Alternate-root BFU breakage

Subject: Heads-up: Alternate-root BFU breakage

My putback for

6715372 SMF repository should store (and allow retrieval of) property 
values
in the order they were added

...introduces a bug that will break BFU of alternate root
filesystems on snv_95 or later-installed systems. The workaround
is to avoid BFUing alternate root filesystems (BFU of root
filesystems still works) until

6728993  SMF repository upgrade breaks alternate root BFU

...has been addressed (it is targeting snv_96). It is
possible to BFU an alternate root filesystem _to_ snv_95,
provided the root filesystem on which BFU is running
is earlier than snv_95.

Many thanks to Juergen Keil for doing initial root-cause
analysis, and my apologies for the inconvenience caused.
