with the current code and way it works it is really not possible to decouple. 
and its the opposite of what I want to do. The pieces need to be tightly 
integrated and cohesive. in order to get things out promptly we need to be 
able to distribute the load to produce all the pieces that are part of an 
updates push. make all the repos at once.  but do 6 repos on 6 boxes. not 6 
repos on one box in serial. fire off all the things needing those repos after 
they are done in one shot. release them all at once.  If we decouple the 
delivery I fear it will cause confusion for users. especially in the instance 
of something like heartbleed or shellshock when we say update now, but only 
some updates are out there.
