I'm getting maybe bit too far from topic.

We have different opinion of smooth or silk. I hate how in J once you do
the upgrade, current config is stored with it, so when you finally boot,
you're using that configuration.
So this means, you can't install new image to all boxes at once you decide
new standard release and then reload then when you get maint window,
without having any extra work during expensive maint hours.  Also I've seen
very poor hit-miss ratio with ISSU, so I can't use it at all.
