Question regarding --upload-tools and implications

[Charles Butler]

Greetings,

I've been running juju 1.21-beta4 for a while now and I haven't altered any
streams information as the announcement email would suggest I need to. I'm
aware of the --upload-tools command and have used it in place of doing any
environments.yaml edits when my bootstraps fail due to finding the proper
streams.

Now - I dont *really* know whats going on with --upload-tools. I think its
just building the agent from source and shipping it off to my state server
- but what's the implications of doing this on a long running environment?
My environments on day to day use are typically created and destroyed
within a few hours as I move between projects. So i have no scope of
knowledge on what this does when upgrading environments, etc.

Can someone shed some light as to what I've been doing that *just works*
and why its not the recommended method?

Thanks!
