And the other question that comes up is why are we only talking about this in
the context of a DBaaS provider. Lets just create an example. Assume you have a
distributed system storing all the data about the whole population for a
country with one database per municipality. This could lead to a lot of
databases and obviously the same problems, but no one, at least so far, would
consider them a packager. So they would have the same deployment problem but no
access to the fix before the end of our embargo time.
