I did not mean to suggest every vendor follow the exact same process, job for job. However, the architecture & repository is there for product installs, PDO's, ServerPac, SystemPac, whatever. Of course, this requires IBM to "open up" the the interfaces enough for ISVs to exploit. As I said, some ISVs do a good job already, but it would be *nice* to have a "common" database & template.
