Or rather, slipstream future updates to current downloads. E.g., if you're installing component X that has patches A, B, C, then perhaps you should get customers to download component X that is already in a patched state.
What I always wonder, while twiddling my thumbs during the interminable upgrade-reboot-upgrade cycle, is how many of these these updates will be overwritten by a later update. Am I wasting my time downloading multiple versions of the same file?
These upgrade-shortcuts could introduce a significant increase in testing complexity if you want ensure that you can go from any system version to the current version.
