656 is the current stable.  That is what the auto-upgrade is currently 
upgrading to.

After the dust settles on Update.1 and we build up some sort of image 
that is equivalent to whats on the G1G1 machines then that image will be 
available to XO's for auto-update.  I'm not exactly sure what the plan 
is for migrating G1G1 machines to the new setup is.

In the new scheme all the activities have been moved to below the 
/home/olpc folder so they are not part of an operating system update (ie 
build xxxx).  Activities can/will be upgraded separate.

G1G1 (and older builds deployments) machines need to be migrated over to 
the new setup.  Once migrated  then your installed activities and other 
customizations won't get wiped in an upgrade.

Yes. We call that image ShipX because its what we release to Quanta to 
put on the machines as they come out of the factory.
