I would not like to see this ;-). This breaks our promise of
incremental upgrades. We can come up with a technical solution that
allows for a hybrid Hamm/Slink machine, and we should not take the
lazy way out.
Also, doing it incrementally means that even in Slink we can
have the packages change one at a time, rather than requiring that
everything changes at once, or something s broken.
