Not at all. Update in place is a derivative result of scarcity of
hardware. If the design environment is for heavily virtualized
"hardware", then it's much safer and simpler to update in parallel.

Given also how weak RPM is in handling dependencies for
multi-architecture binaries, I can't see a better method given the tools
they've got.
