653 was a stop-gap release and has been tested only as a clean
install.  Upgrading from 650 to 653 has not been tested, and so using
olpc-update to get from 650 to 653 is not (yet?) recommended.

That is the reason for the discrepancy: we can't yet recommend 653 as
an update.  Users who need WPA should do a clean install of 653, which
will remove any content they had created in the Journal.

At the moment, Update.1 will be the first recommended/tested *update*
(as opposed to clean install), although it is possible we will release
something-like-653 which we could feel comfortable recommending as an
update.
