If I was sure, I wouldn't need testers. However, if it's an Arch 8 there's a
very, very small chance of a problem. Particularly if:

 * config update works well
 * firmware backup works well

Then it would surprise me greatly if firmware upgrade didn't work.

As for an alternative version, dumping your current version and re-uploading
to the remote it would be a sufficient test for me.

Anyone else have any other suggestions?
