To do that would require that everyone operate a server that's not behind a firewall. It's pretty limiting. Reverse the equation and there's no problem. A guest database on a server that contains all kinds of shared code bits. Easy to implement. We could have a branch of that root for every person. That's doable and functionally equivalent to what you're asking for.In other words, push never really is push, it's always a request for an update initiated by the client. It's totally automatable in Frontier, you could just make it an Overnight Task.
However the same thing could work with a DG-based solution, the parts could assemble themselves on your workstation any way you want them to. Remember, there's a script-running engine on the other end of the pipe.
