Well, so far, that seems to be the case, so it's looking like not changing anything is a good thing.

And then in another mail... Bob F. says...

Given that the purpose of LX zones is primarily to run apps (not necessarily admin tools for the installation itself), I'm not sure if this is something I can prevent.  I suspect if you got an LX zone on the Joyent Public Cloud and used those same tools, you'd land in a similar mess.
