This is definitely the best solution.

It's true - I do wonder though, is it really feasible to try to do
updates on an XO?  Six months from now running updates will eat at least
512MB, either blowing out the overlay or the RAM.  This will require the
user to re-burn the card.  Maybe we need a different way to do updates.
