---## Problem
There is no documented or tested migration path for existing bluefin users to move to dakota. Specifically:
- Is
bootc switch from bluefin to dakota supported? If so, what are the prerequisites?
- Is fresh install the only supported path? If so, what happens to user data?
- Is there a rollback path if the migration fails?
- What is the data preservation story (home directory, installed Flatpaks, dconf settings)?
projectbluefin/bluefin-lts:README.md explicitly documents that rebasing between families is unsupported and requires fresh installs. No equivalent documentation exists for bluefin β dakota.
This ambiguity is a release risk: users will attempt migration without a supported path.
Needed
- Define the official migration policy: "fresh install only" OR "bootc switch supported with conditions"
- If fresh install: document data backup/restore expectations
- If bootc switch: test it in CI (at minimum in QEMU) and document prerequisites
- Add migration docs to the user-facing README
