I think this is needed for early testers like myself because the server images are rolling daily and we want to download and test to make sure it works (as there have been quite a few go wrong). The boot selection shows 4 images available but there are only 3 as the last one is a dud so we can only download 2 bad images before we can't risk another. If vacuum worked this problem would be gone.

for some time now (maybe always?), updating doesn't overwrite the booted image so there is no chance to lose it, so this bug isn't relevant.

Not sure how to mark resolved.
