Maybe we can go with first option and say, upgrades to products are not
supported, please reinstall. It's new beginning and say non-productized
update support will be gone in F22 timeframe and only productized updates
will be allowed.
That's a lame excuse really. "Please reinstall" is more or less
telling users "go away". So that's not really an option (there aren't
even any technical reasons for it).
