If an update aborts due to recent factory changes, you can just restart.
Maybe you need that a second and a third time, but usually an update needs
only a limited time, so if you continue you will succeed.

This may work for you with your kind of network, but not with mine. An update attempt may take as "little" as four hours. If I trigger it at 2 am, to try catch a period of developers resting, and I go to bed, chances are it will not finish. A restart on the morning does not work, because the repo has changed, so I have to wait till the next night. I may have to try for a week before I finally get it done.

So I don't.
