Actually, this, and more.

There are people with Wifi-only Internet access.
If their Wifi stack breaks, they can't download a patch; any remedy has 
to be already in place.
I guess that means whatever you do, you need to make sure that Wifi 
upgrades can be rolled back without doing downloads.

Maybe even keep the old ABI around so old drivers continue to work, so 
users can alternate between drivers.
Might be useful for all kinds of A/B testing, too.

Just my thoughts.
