jpeterson didn't suggest "installing a bunch of libraries and updating things piecemeal". Instead of transferring the entire binary for every release they could generate a (likely much smaller) patch, transfer just it, then apply it. I expect they're not doing this because it's computationally intensive compared to transferring the entire binary.
