We aren't creating two[1] image variants today. Why would we? Who would use them and why? > Why do you need that?

The entire design of libostree is around being able to transactionally swap the bootloader configuration. While preparing an update, we temporarily have *three* deployments on disk (new, current, and rollback), but only two bootloader entries. If we weren't able to do a full transactional replacement then we'd have to deal with possibly having three entries, and be able to clean that up afterwards. Which we could do - particularly now that we have https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1464 and it's easier for admins to control what's available locally, and we can assume that we can just GC other things.
