So there's a practical problem:  is that procedure documented
somewhere?  And who is _able_ to do this?  For example, taking the
"you" literally, I doubt I have access to the machine(s) on which it
would need to be done.  I'd be happy to learn how to do it, and to
document the procedure (if it's not already documented -- I couldn't
find it), if someone can teach me the ropes.

More like herding cows than herding cats ;-)
