I really like this move.  I am just concerned that there will not be
enough time in the current schedule to complete the entire task.

I agree with this.  I think the changes needed should be done at the time.
I dislike the running of this script all the time.

I prefer the email notification.  I would like to see the few situations
where config files change that an email is sent to root.

I think this is a good move.  Also I prefer the dropping of UP kernel.  I
like having things as close to the same as possible.  I think the
advantages out way the disadvantages.

Thanks,
