There will be a higher level updating command that will permit you to do updates across all the layers in one whack, as you describe here. And there will be probably more than one way for admins to do OS updates requiring reboots independently of application updates which don't require reboots. If anything you will have more granular control, rather than less. But there will also be much greater consistency among those updated machines. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
