Well, not stopping a server works 9 times out of 10 (or even 99 out of 100,
if we take into account that parts/instance is going to be replaced only
when a new Zope version comes out and that happens not too often). For minor
updates that's quite safe and if you're unlucky killing the rogue process
manually may still be faster than waiting for buildout to finish with your
server down.

Having a cache in front of Zope may help in this situation of course.
