Thanks Pascal,
From wiki

Currently the processing is done breadth first, in that first all the IUs are being fetched, then they are all installed and finally configured. Is that too strict?

Yes I think that is too strict. For the general case (multiuser) it is too restrictive to always get a configure with install, etc.  The use case that requires install only is a native service. It can install artifacts but it can't configure for all users. The configure should occur when the user starts the program. This likely also has implications for touchpoints since there are touchpoint operations that should be done during install (like global things) and operations that need to be performed on a user basis.
