Revision 14688

	**WARNING**: system upgrades can break key parts of the full-database
34 
		import, causing errors such as disk space overruns. for this reason, it
35 
		is recommended to maintain a snapshot copy of the VM as it was at the
36 
		last successful import, for fallback use if a system upgrade breaks
37 
		anything. system upgrades on the snapshot VM should be disabled
38 
		completely, and because this will also disable security fixes, the
39 
		snapshot VM should be disconnected from the internet and all networking
40 
		interfaces. (this is an unfortunate consequence of modern OSes being
41 
		written in non-memory-safe languages such as C and C++.)
