We could, using brtfs/lvm snapshots. But this may produce some hidden
side effects. Maybe we could do the reverse :
ie, we do a clone / snapshot for testing the upgrade ( maybe in a vm,
except a vm would not help to test real hardware issue ), and if people
are not satisfied , they do not put it in &quot;production&quot;.

I think there was a presentation about rpm rollback  at FOSDEM this year
( or last year, maybe ), but I didn't really listened, as I do not
remember how it ended.
