Hello,

I have no experience with this. I have physical access to my computers,
but physical access fixes were never required for a do-release upgrade.

If I were the computer devil, I would do exactly the same thing. I would
happily do any release upgrade where the superuser has direct access to
the machine and slam whenever a server is remotely upgraded, laughing
evilly and cynically asking where your savior penguin is when you call
for his blessings.
