I just checked with someone wating to manually update across build
server updates,
without having 'entire' consolidation installed..
.. and it seems like xenol tortched all osnet-incorporation and
userland-incorporation till 09/10/2016,
where oldest osnet is
osnet-incorporation at 0.5.11,5.11-2016.0.1.15898:20161002T005625Z
<http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/info/0/consolidation%2Fosnet%2Fosnet-incorporation%400.5.11%2C5.11-2016.0.1.15898%3A20161002T005625Z>
and oldest userland is
userland-incorporation at 0.5.11,5.11-2016.0.1.7496:20161003T170437Z
<http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/info/0/consolidation%2Fuserland%2Fuserland-incorporation%400.5.11%2C5.11-2016.0.1.7496%3A20161003T170437Z>

in http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/en/advanced_search.shtml .

That invalidates any testing, but updating from 20160421 snapshot ISO to
newest hipster
or updating in between these oldest snapshots and newest hipster.

I wanted to keep all 3 machines I have to oldest /hipster before 09/27
loader landing, but it seems that won't happen.
All I can is keep GRUB with  if I want or simply upgrade, get new loader
that can not directly see any previous GRUB BE.
I am forced to have new loader and don't see elegant solution of booting
previous BEs.
