Upgrading a herd of homogeneous workstations is easier than upgrading
a herd of heterogeneous servers.  Keeping track of which hosts require
which versions of which software (especially as 3rd party packages and
their binary incompatibilities complicate the situation) might slow
you down a bit.  I could easily see the required script growing up to
or even beyond 10 lines of bash.

I still think one day is a good upper bound, though. (-:
