This has been planned for a long time and is long overdue, but there's no one working on the update infrastructure to implement. It's the single biggest issue holding back CopperheadOS from being a production-ready operating system. Nearly every issue can be fixed via updates as long as the update path works, so a broken update path is the worst possible thing that can happen right now, since other aspects of releases are tested so they at least boot, connect to the network etc.

There's now a quick hack in the Updater to make this possible. A tweak to the website's JavaScript for the downloads page to hide the test updates should enable this.
