Your parents? You misunderstood me completely. They just need to be able 
to plug in stuff, just like they do now, to make it clearer:

  - ISP buys boxes
  - ISP installs their custom distro
  - ISP supplies box to user
  - user plugs in box
  - box works

Then ISP wants to enable feature X, thus ISP logs in to box and upgrades 
it. Yeah, feature X! Presto done. Feature X could be IPv6, or Multicast, 
or a special setup for the user etc. Actually, when I think of it a bit 
more, I would only allow the user to change 'their' config by them 
logging into the management website of ISP, which then pushes configs 
out, that way the ISP has all the configs, thus in the case of a new box 
or something weird you can just push the config out or check them. Only 
thing that the box would supply then is a status page with "it works".

Only bad thing is that the ISP will have to do a lot of development and 
testing on these boxes, broken upgrades are then suddenly hell of course 
;) But you can brand it completely to your own tastes then.

Greets,
