@TimeBandit but wait that would mean making sane choices at many steps in the design of the OS and potentially the OS family, for interoperability reasons. You'd need standards of some sort at that point...

But what about the screensavers? Won't somebody think of the screensavers?

@TimeBandit Just make a shell script:
"$0" | "$0"
the screen will lock soon enough.

I'm not sure if linux package managers have incremental updates at all.
They mostly don't, but the unit of versioning appears to be smaller and so the amount of complexity to apply one update is reduced. The net effect is similar to incremental updates, without the complexity of computing and applying actual deltas but with some extra data movement. When data movement is cheap, that's a good tradeoff.

Cue @Lorne-Kates commenting about @pie_flavor's motherboard.
