Actually I see this as a slight advantage. As long as RH does good dependancy tracking, as they currently do in their on-line updater ("Red Hat Network"), you will get everything necessary to to stay up to date when you update a component. Back before Unix existed, we had that sort of "continuous update" in Multics, and it was very easy for the SiteSystemAdmins to stay current. Of course, there were also some pretty strong compatability guarantees, too! --dave
