Well, if you're running a headless server with just http, netatalk and
samba then you can of course update now live using yum, restarting
services when convenient. I'm not going to change that. What I want to
change is for the case of updating a fully functioning desktop with
~30 session processes per user talking to each other over session
DBus, ~20 doing IPC with system DBus, and ~15 processes in the system
context, ~3 of which do DBus IPC with each other. That's about as far
removed from a simple server with three non-connected daemons that do
one thing each as you can get.

If your goal is to just run three simple daemons, I agree.

Richard.
