I would love to have that!

Well, I wasn't saying it should all be *done* at the same time, but
this is not the only utility command which could benefit from such an
effort, and if each one is done with no consideration of what it
takes for them all to be done, we could wind up with something that
doesn't hang together very coherently. Per perhaps this one could
serve as a "pilot", to identify issues and help develop such a plan.
