Depends on what you mean by "capable". The Unified Installer's
buildout.cfg contains:

"""
[zope2]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2install
# update zope by updating this URL:
url = http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.10.7/Zope-2.10.7-final.tgz
...
"""

To update Zope, the user would need to update that URL. So, this may
be the last significant component that's not taken care of by the
"versions = URL" scheme.

I'd love to hear if folks have ideas on this. My first thought for
fixing this is that we could make the zope2install recipe smarter.

My current strategy is to make the OS X binary installer smart enough
that you could download a new one, run it over an existing install,
and have it update the binary components. But it's certainly not
impossible that we could maintain online binary Zopes for OS X and
Windows and make zope2install smart enough to use them when
appropriate.

I'd love to hear other ideas!
