That's exactly the process I was hoping to eventually implement. Is that on the Wiki? Something like what you described would be ideal for releasing configurations outside of Magnolia as well.

And the goal of the procedure I described is to make Magnolia re-bootstrap the public instance to take all the new datas. It's the way I currently update the server version of my modified Magnolia : backup the datas (all the datas, of all the repositories) in xml files, then removing the /repositories dir, importing back the xml in the WEB-INF/bootstrap/common/ and restarting the public instance. It will bootstrap and re-integrate all the datas (and by the way, you got a backup with your xml files, which are full compatible with all the Persistence Manager you'll choose for the future).
