We also need to bring the authors (or volunteers) for the de-facto standard upgrade tools into the loop. My thoughts: - give the user a choice to configure whether to restart services - optional: give the users a chance to configure this per-service - discuss whether we want/need to support this (a) in the framework that we currently use, (b) only in pkgng, (c) in portmaster and portupgrade where necessary.
