The script (eg sa-remote-update) should not preclude the ability to circle
through each of the channels, and the ones that fail lint will simply not get
applied, and an error message sent to the admin, with the remaining channels
being applied.  It should also not preclude some one from deciding to
explicitly update channel by channel, should they choose to do so, instead of
simply performing by default, do every channel in the channels.d directory, if
they are set as active.
