   Sure, but requiring it to be so simple and devoid of intelligent intent
   sort of presupposes you needn't have anybody handy capable of picking
   up the pieces if something goes wrong, interpreting change notes, and
   preserving local color?

You might like something more like DG's installation procedures.  It
checks with the operator before any major step and does error checking
on everything it does.  If something goes wrong, it tells you about it,
tells you where it put the errors and asks what you want to do.  It'll
also tell you if you have to do anything manually for changes to take
effect.

It does this thoroughly and consistently throughout all the administrative
scripts it has, which cover ttys, printers, tapes, disks, files, kernels,
users, uucp, tcp/ip, layered software, etc.
