What does vendor not deciding to update a device have to do with an actual software mechanism of applying patches?


Even "vendors" that do update frequently like Cyanogenmod, it's usually a flash over the existing rom, not a delta or single package update. That would be tough to do with a server environment unless every server had exactly the same base (a la BSD's)
