Cisco 2960-XR: Switch Stack Upgrade

I'd like to see Cisco do like Brocade does when it comes to upgrading a stack.  In Brocade, you upgrade the main switch, and it passes the firmware to the other switches automatically.  In Cisco, you have to put it on each switch.  Here below, I copy the firmware from my laptop to the first switch in the stack.  Then, I copy it from the stack to the other members manually.

2960-XR#copy tftp flash1:
Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.101.112
Source filename []? c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-3.E1.bin
