A potential benefit of AC being cloud based is that it should make upgrades seemless.
Agreed. First, it means that you don't have to do a thing; you just log in one day and the latest update is installed.
In addition, there was some discussion of this at the Tahoe meeting during the period where many users were unsure about whether to upgrade to the most current version because there were so many problems with it. Under the right circumstances, you might let the provider "vet" the new version and make the call as to when the upgrade should be undertaken. If your cloud version is maintained by a knowledgeable, trusted provider (again, I use Indy as an example), you might let them decide (not even necessarily AC) when it is appropriate to upgrade.
