What I would realy like to see is some kind of an update program for the  
machines that are not connected to internet.
In theory it should go something like this:
1. install USU (Ubuntu Smart Updater)
2. get status (a file gets saved)
3. take that file to a "connected" machine.
4. press "Create Smart update", feed in the status file and USU presents  
me with a series of options like
	1. "Keep version, security update",
	2. "Keep version, add programs"
	3. "Update to new version"
	4. "Update to new version, add programs"
5. USU creates a CD image with the needed packages
6. Burn the ISO or take it on a thumbdrive, iPod, whatever.
7. Go to the "isolated" machine and press "Smart update", feed in the CD  
or provide the ISO
8. Smile

Of course the whole process could be refined, maybe status files could be  
merged, created only one CD/DVD ISO to update an entire set of computers.

I realise that this could be done to a degree with the installation CD but  
what if that "isolated" computer has some random universe/multiverse  
package installed?

I know is too late for Hoary but I would really like to update to Breezy  
like this. ;)
