I was thinking there mainly of a system that had been used for lots
of real updates -- running it immediately after install is something
I can easily test; I can do the same thing.

Generally, small changes are going to preserve the overall complexity
and re-running genmodel will still be useful.

That said, António and Mihai have uncovered yet another issue that we
are working to resolve, in which Conary cannot handle models that are
of certain significant complexity (it runs out of file descriptors...)
We are working on a patch to fix that problem.  So you probably want
to wait for that patch...

It's just a multi-part email to sysmodel-rep...@rpath.com with a subject
line "Conary sysmodel data report' that contains two attachments:
* The contents of /var/lib/conarydb/manifest with the attachment
  name "manifest"
* The contents of the generated model (/etc/conary/system-model or
  whatever temporary file it tells you it wrote) with the attachment
  name "model"

Basically, if I run a script across the mailbox that filters into, I
will be looking for those attachment names.
