Yes I took a look at it and it looks interesting, I would try to make it |
| 56 |
"more standarized", it would be nice to use it with ziptie.org (become |
| 57 |
part of ZONA) or Rancid. But it's difficult to estime needed time. |

Yes something like that, it would greatly move our project! |

Downtime would be probably needed for core system upgrades, but |
| 75 |
applications could be upgraded without it. |

I thought about prebuilt, in cooperation with live upgrade, would be a |
| 91 |
cool feature. |
