I agree, but was responding to your claim about “changes to base image will be minimal for hardware dependancies over time.” I don’t think it appropriate to push an image forward to newer hardware — although the reverse is nearly always the case — just because an image “loads beautifully”. My experience have given me a nearly opposite opinion on the matter; namely that changes to a base image will be a near certainty for hardware dependancies over time. Rarely does new CPU, chipset, graphic card or other hardware changes NOT necessitate a base OS image update (NB, obviously minor revs usually don’t have the same impact).
I’m simply trying to understand the best practice for maintaining forward compatibility in an IDMG configuration.
I see your point
