Update on OS updates ... and next steps

Registered by Loïc Minier

Discuss status and WIP for OS updates, transition of existing Touch users to new OS updates, upcoming changes and longer term improvements (e.g. switching channels, progress updates, improved deltas w/ Android bits etc.)

(Other channels and number of channels partly discussed in support for saucy session)

Need to discuss version numbers as well (possible overflow with 3 images per day)
