Hi Reg
Hipster is a Rolling release model meaning updates land directly in the
package repositories for each package.
ISO "Releases" are simply there to mark a point where we look back onto
the last 6 months and can actually see how much has moved. And it's the
point we want to make it as stable as possible so that new people can
install it from the snapshot medias. Historically it was also a point,
where we could snapshot the Repo so people could jump between
publishers, but that has changed.

So if I do a "pkg update" after each ISO release I should track the ISOs?
How do I ensure that I pick up new packages in an ISO? Do I specify a tag? It
seems unlikely that the package list would be immutable.

I tried a text-install of 2021.04.30 into an existing 2020.10.31 pool, but the
user information didn't propagate to the new BE. Is this a bug, install
mistake or the wrong way to update?
The wrong way to update. Install media is for fresh installs only.
Updates are done via "pkg update".
