Because we're not dickheads and are willing to take reasonable efforts
to give people the ability to continue to upgrade?
In all seriousness, we might be able to say that you have to upgrade
more than once. That is, pull this old image build (say build91?),
upgrade to LB, then pull this really new image and update to OFW. Not
unreasonable, but we'll need to document the process.
