Interesting. I didn't know cjb had forked my code. Should I fold his code and ship it with the XS? Chris, can you tell me more about the patches? (Gentlemen, in general I want to hear about changes to my code, even if they are bespoke. I may find ways to do what you wanted to do in a generally releaseable version. git is nice in that it makes it easy to fork without telling anyone. That's a double-edged sword if I ever saw one...) > via XSen (using DNS to redirect the XOs' theft-deterrence protocol requests to > the local XS.)

You _only_ want "no touch" mass updates? My hope is that we move towards something that addresses what I roughly started to flesh out in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Blueprints:Lease_and_update_server (which is sorely incomplete.
