In fact, there are 2 things I would like to have in a production 
environment as well.

 + Always perform an update (even when it is not explicitely asked for)
 + Always perform a clean 

If we can provide that from the config-file (and maybe that's already 
possible now ?) I would not have to explain why it is required in the 
internal documentation, since we _always_ want to use the latest metadata 
and don't want any old packages around.
