Ok, I think I understand better how we should do now.
However, the use of version in class name is still mandatory for us
because we may have two versions of an application in production at
same time (on different nodes) and need to have very strict control on
installed versions.
Also, we generat

I'm not entirely certain of your scenario, but unless you are going to
purposely have two versions of the same application running in production
for extended periods, this seems like the wrong way to do this.
Do you have some way to roll through Dev, Test, Staging, Production?
Can you just have o
Ok, I agree that my request is targeted to a special case that can be
dangerous if applied to general case.
My main concern was that our admins may find tedious to do the two-
steps process for each release of an application. Maybe I should tell
them it's more secure !
Anyway, thanks for sharing

Thanks for your answer Evan.
For these applications, we need to have a very good control. So we'll
never update them via local update utility nor use an ensure => latest
We always use ensure => x.y.z
We also need to be able to do rollback, so it's simpler to remove
everything from say, version 1
