+I'd rather not... all this update package would do is generate an initrd
+and add a menu item that uses it and I'd rather concentrate with users
+to run the steps manually for now.

+Yeah I appreciate that, but I'm not going to do this update package yet.
+I'd rather wait and gather feedback first. All the update package would
+do is the same as I'm asking you to do, so the "risk" of breakage is
+identical in either case. I don't want to provide a package that
+pretends to be any more "safe" than any other mechanism.
+
+It's two very simple manual steps which I do not think is beyond the
+skill set of anyone running cauldron, nor does it take much time.
