Comment (by pulkomandy):
I didn't say the upgrade has to be online necessarily. I just sait it has
to be run from the running system (you insert the CD, and tell your
computer to get the packages from there, without rebooting).
Fixing an unbootable system is a valid use case for the Installer, but it
is not a normal update path. Because we don't know what needs to be fixed,
it has to be more destructive: remove "suspicious" things in non-packaged
(all drivers, all copies of system libs, probably other add-ons), reset
most system settings to their default values, etc. That is different from
a system update. And should rarely be needed because there are previous
states to return to, making it a lower priority work.
