Well, that's exactly what we have, and it always works.
Ah lucky you, you must have one of those new magic systems that never
does anything wrong or suffers from bugs.

I think this would warrant a different discussion, as it is clearly outside of what 
Neil is seeking assistance about.

But, I take, and nibble:

If you have worked in an environment where employees have had experience of nothing 
but, fix, fix and fix again, against an environment, where engineers were taught to:

1: Not just fix the problem in the short term.
2. Add your fix to the automation program (if you can't do it yourself, see an 
automation engineer to do it for you).
3. Automate
4. Iterate

When automation fails (by someone fixing an issue at step 1, but not going forward 
with 2-3), then you have a problem, train the employee, or if that fails, then you 
have no option, get rid of them.

Iterate the above for all changes, and you will eventually end up with a stable 
system (unless of course, all your employees were already up on this and were doing 
it anyway).

If you don't follow processes that have stability designed into them, then you will 
encounter issues, what is the problem?

PS I have yet to find a citation source from you on the Pfsense "tainted" issue you 
mentioned when you replied to my last input on this list.
