Oh, and remember how great it was with dedicated servers that you could start 
upgrades on all subscribers at once? Ya, not really recommended any longer. The 
upgrade IOPS, etc required during an upgrade jump significantly. Concurrent 
upgrades would put a tremendous strain on off box storage. I doubt very highly 
you'd get a storage team to guarantee four x upgrade req's for a concurrent 
upgrade on four servers.
