Excuse me while I fall over laughing. I have some 30K hosts on my network, and there's no really scalable way to say "OK, this box is about to be upgraded, disable its HTTP access to anything other than windowsupdate" and then 3 hours later "OK, let it talk to the rest of the web again".

The rest of Emeric's points are quite good - but sometimes it's not as easy as it looks... ;)
