UPDATE SUMMARY

ips-incorporation
Installed 0.5.11,5.11-0.175.0.0.0.2.0:20111020T143822Z
Proposed 0.5.11,5.11-0.175.0.2.0.3.0:20111201T182924Z
reboot required.
That seems like a nice possible enhancement. However, I'd like to hear
what others think about it.
I'm also not yet certain about how best to display that information.
The other thing, which is probably out of scope here,
is tell me what possible targets I have for an update
operation and whether they involve a reboot or not.
Users that are farther behind in updating would have a significant
amount of extra information shown if all the possible versions that
could be upgraded to were shown.
The possible versions shown also would be inaccurate as the solver would
have to evaluate each possible combination and then provide that
information for output. For the foreseeable future, it isn't possible
to extract that information from the boolean solver. As such, I think
it's best that option is not pursued.
