I have tried to follow this thread as best as I can and here are some questions 
that I did see an answer to.

1.  If a patchadd fails down the path what happens ?
   i.e. patch A depends on patch B which depends on patch C.
   After all the dependency checking etc. you start to add patch C, then patch 
B and then patch A.  However patchadd of patch A fails.  What happens ? Are 
patches B and C removed ?

2. Can one kill/abort this midway ? If so is consistency guaranteed ?


Also could I requrest that the design for this be in a single document that can 
be referred to ? I am currently in the process of writing the architecture 
document for Caiman and it would sure be helpful if I could include a pointer 
to the design document for recursive patching.
