Two problem areas need to be looked at:
- Can the new build reuse the old bootblock? Does the new build have to
know the old bootblock? 2. How do you merge old and new images?

- is a bit more problematic regardless of whether you have v2 or v3. If
you don't want to reflash the old parts of the image, you can't rename them either. If the old part was called "fallback", it will still be called "fallback" after flashing some new parts into the ROM. That means each time you reflash, the new part's name will be the opposite of the old part's name. Of course, with such a system, calling these things "fallback" and "normal" makes no sense anymore. After all, we always want to boot the newly flashed image first and the name doesn't tell us which one is new.
I'd always want to flash and boot the image I put in the "normal" directory. I don't want to rename "fallback" - I don't want to change it at all.
