The other thing that confused me a bit was on line 390 in file.py, why is
renameold.update treated differently than renameold or renamenew?
I don't recall how that works; that's Shawn's change.
In the case of a downgrade, renameold.update forces the old
configuration file to be renamed to '<name>.update' regardless of the
preserve attribute value for the action that originally delivered it.
The assumption is that if you're downgrading software, you can't
guarantee the compatibility of the existing editable file, so the safest
thing to do is to install the older version of the editable ifle and
rename the one already on-disk.
