Won't this suppress an effeciency of the local sharing? If a typical period
between a download and the reboot is significantly longer than a period in
which machines check for and download the firmaware, it will happen that all
machines will sepearately download the firmware from a central server instead
of downloading it from local peers. Because all the machines will be waiting
on the reboot.

For how long is the firmware adveritised? As long as it is advertised, people
know what version you are currently running. This information becomes
interesting when a new firmware is released. Then you have exactly the same
problem you want to address.
