Before you pat yourself on the back too many times, spend a
moment thinking about how your code updates would have
fared if they had been allowed to be installed (a) by people
with no training and (b) onto any kind of hardware from
any vendor, most of which the engineers had never seen.

My guess is that regardless of your methodology, you'd do
no better than the fedora approach under real-world PC
conditions.
