while the system and services are running?
show me how you will do this!

you are missing the point that "yum distro-sync" is running
while the system is up and can be distributed after testing
AUTOMATICALLY to 10,20,30,100 machines followed by a 30
seconds reboot

shutdown the VM, insert the ISO and boot anaconda takes much
longer as the whole upgrade via yum - our machines needed
between 4 and 6 minutes each server for the whole F14->F15
upgrade, so in an hour you have all machines updated with
nearly zero downtime

a change which damages this capabilities has to be fixed
