This works for me, as I often rename a copy of the new version I've  
just expanded in this manner anywise, so I have a bit of a local  
archive of version histories.

Speaking only for myself... although this would be convenient in the  
right hands, I sure wouldn't want my clients being able to do updates  
via browser/cp either. Often I have to make minor tweaks to mods to  
suit a client and I know if they could click an update button they  
would, and blow them away ;-) Also, and I know this sounds petty, I  
make my living building and maintaining client sites. All that said,  
I rarely give deity access to a client, just to protect them from  
themselves.

Works for me too.
