Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-3073:
-------------------------------------

That doesn't sound like a good idea.
But that is what product for. It is to control that you don't use what was not tested and could not work together. If you want update for separate pieces use JBT. For JBDS BYOE update to work out of the box the product part should be re-built with new updated feature included, tested and published through update site.

> To better support the BYOE scenario and be more easily able to update pieces of JBDS w/o having to update the product, we could consider adding `installMode="root"` to the JBDS "Core Features" feature so it can be installed in parallel to the JBDS "Branded Product" feature, rather than as its child [1].

> We could further do this with other JBDS/JBT child features, but I suspect we *don't want to do that* as it would allow users to update *individual parts piecemeal*, rather than as one big update.
