so, just for the sake of the discussion, how would you do this? Keep
in mind that you probably can't (as a carrier) prefer one 'os' over
another, and you will likely have to deal with everything from Windows
to gentoo and all the tiny raspbian/etc in the middle.

How would a carrier identify and track over time the sources of this
traffic? (note that a 'registry of update sources' probably also won't
fly)

multicast, yes, of course. So... it hasn't worked yet in the last ~20
yrs of the internet, it'll work now because?
