True! I vaguely recall Nick [someone? Was a LW associate of some sort. I think he passed a few 
years ago] talking about DELIVERing at 0 and shipping *.FASL patches to be loaded on startup 
a-la LOAD-ALL-PATCHES in LW itself. He had some scheme with the pathnames so his code
would know which patches backed out other patches, and would only load the "correct" ones.

That's ... a bit more effort than I want to go to, though, since I'm the sole consumer of
my server app on my own VPS.  Since teardown and startup is pretty quick - and the only internal 
state of merit is cookie/session stuff (which I can move to the filesystem or database), it's
probably a non-problem for now.

I'm wondering with the Real Experts up on your hemisphere will say when they wake up.
