Description

I think it's a useful exercise to early on flesh out what the UX will look like. Let's discuss that here and then add something in the README?

Some bootstrapping questions:

  • how does one perform a manual upgrade?
  • how do automated systems perform upgrades?
  • how does this tie into rpm-ostree status on rpm-ostree-based systems?

We don't need to answer everything completely, but discussing these will make it easier to think about how bootupd fits in.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing README, then use this issue's questions to frame the target UX: manual upgrades, automated upgrades, and integration with rpm-ostree status. Discuss the expected workflows and document the agreed behavior in the README; done means the UX has been clarified rather than every question answered completely.
