I was not speaking about updates. I was talking about something such as
recompiling apache to add a php module. Of course we have to apply
security updates etc..

And we are prepared to do so on short notice, I blindly assumed that CMD
would be responsible for a good portion of this as we offered to host
the environment in the first place.

I wasn't looking for a plug and run(away) solution for the community.
