Yes, well, a network enabled dist upgrade or package
upgrade are the two things I would be looking for.
Unless there are tools to help maintain hundreds of
servers which are divided into different groups
available...

Being able to do an dist-upgrade to get that latest
driver for a cluster of boxes is a major plus
especially if the boxes are remote (as in another
country) and you would rather not have to call some
dumb data centre operator and feed the operator instructions.
