[support] Best way to deploy Drupal.

[Kathleen Murtagh]

"Automating" deployment?  To what degree do you expect this to be automated?

I can't think of any situation in which you'd want deployment to be done
without observation and testing during the process.

Can you elaborate on what sort of process you are expecting?
