 It would be incredible handy to be able to click on a map and say "Migrate
 to another server", and have all of its dependencies compared against the
 other server and updated if required.

 Data connections may require some thought.  There may be connection string
 differences between test and live that the user would have to be able to
 modify when writing.  Along these same lines, there would have to be the
 option to not update existing data sources.  In this case, another could
 check would be to ensure that the data source contains all of the
 attribute required for the layers, etc.

 This problem is partially solved by packages, but in an environment like
 ours where we are trying to encourage standardisation by having both
 Common and Per-Application sections, it can be difficult to migrate new
 applications, layers, etc into production.
