How does this differ from already existing sa-update --install command?

Nothing prevents package maintainers from already doing all this. Or clusters
doing this. Or local networks rsyncing locally whatever they need.

Code being more maintanable is non-issue, since it can be always rewritten if
someone wants, but I don't see any need to change the semantics how sa-update
works right now. Except the new optional --channels.d operation that would use
a new directory structure for configuration. There is no reason to break
backwards compatibility for something that works quite fine as it is.
