Anything about libc will apparently be handled by special "library" packages, or bundled with the "apps" themselves.
As for kernels and such, at least with Ubuntu Snappy this will be handles in a ChromeOS like fashion. Dump the updated base system into a separate partition, change the Grub config, reboot. If the system fails to boot up it will either instruct the user (i see no admins, nor "power-users" in this scenario) to pick the failsafe/recover option, or do so automatically.
Basically you can forget everything you learned about PC or server. The future is all containers and VMs. The computational equivalent of TV dinners or canned goods.
