Sounds like the i5 needs just as much administering to keep it running
as other systems. Selling the i5 at p5 prices would give us quad core
systems in place of the single and even fractional cores available in
the typical i5. With that kind of speed there would be no concern
about just in time index builds.

I disagree...It's not the i5 that "needs" that much administering...it's
the way the applications are designed. With proper design, etc the i5
has an initial setup required. After that it's pretty much
self-sustaining.

The point is simply you can't knock the
platform just because someone application might suck...
Further, even apps that suck _can_ have administrative features wrapped around them. The scenario being discussed concerns a fairly simple program call before and after upgrades, PTFs, whatever. A parm might indicate *BEFORE and *AFTER so that the single program handled both the addition and the removal of constraints, indexes, whatever.
Many of the *BEFORE and *AFTER actions (often _all_ of them) could be in a direct CL member executed as a script. If elements such as system auditing and database journaling are active, then every action and result would be automatically logged. Security for the administrative program object is almost trivial to set up.
With a little effort, administrative complexities can be nearly eliminated while using nothing but the default (i.e., no extra charge) facilities of the system.
