Indeed, possibilities for the technique exist. As do some tools. My
point was that it's not yet universally applicable, it is not a panacea,
and it is not yet easily applied for the casual user. At this point,
using the technique pretty much eliminates the use of the provided
automated maintenance capabilities, which puts it beyond many people's
skills. Until that changes, it's not likely to see much use.

See above. Given the number of people who are living by "cookbook", this
seems a good corroboration of my earlier point.
