Right now, getcluster is very convoluted because it makes a lot of
policy decisions. Some day I would like to take those policy
decisions away from getcluster and put them in the update script, and
make the update script responsible for attaching the new packs. (As a
bonus, the workstation doesn't have to run with new packs during the
first segment of the update.) That would make it much easier to make
the suggested change.
