I have to say, in my experience the LU-process works (reasonably) well for systems without zones.
Once you have zones, it gets much, much more complicated.

It's a nice idea, though, and to me it makes sense (you don't want the system to be in a state where only half the patches are installed, however minuscule the effects of that may be).
