Word of caution on 'rescue' images: MSFT just had to essentially render 10 
years of recovery/install media unbootable due to the black lotus 
vulnerability. It was not (and still is not) pretty.

When there's signatures and verifications involved, you really want an 
upgradable system. But if you set that whole infrastructure up, there's really 
not that much difference left with an A/B scheme.
