I don't mind if my RC won't upgrade to the final image correctly, I can just 
reinstall. What we should think about is if we think we need to provide a 
working upgrade path from PA3 to PA4 or if we think that it's okay for those 
few who have installed PA3 on their device to do a reinstall with PA4.

What is our approach here?
