You can, and that will be precisely what happens.

There is one possible surprise to be aware of.

When we restart after critical updates with a system model, we
re-run the model.  So it's remotely possible that you update your
system, including an update to conary, so conary restarts after
updating conary.  Meanwhile, new groups were already being built
with an updated conary, and finished committing after your model
was first run but before you restarted.  So you rerun the model,
and now there's a new conary.  So you get another critical update
and conary restarts again!  We've never managed to hit this before,
so I don't actually know for certain what would happen in this case.
(That won't happen if you put in a version and use updateall.)

I doubt you'll hit that, but wanted to make you aware.
