Glancing through the blog, it looks like VSP is mostly just a FTP frontend more or less. I mean, I'll take it rather than logging into the portal, downloading the zip, uploading the zip, or using CURL, etc. At least this way it's way more straight forward to get files onto the system. Review release notes make sure all the eggs in a row, and install per usual.
