Not quite.  If you use Live Upgrade, you can just go back and forth
between the two partitions.  For example, the system that I'm currently
using is running snv_40 on the s1 partition.  When I upgrade it to
snv_42, it will go on s0, and that will be the partition that I boot off
of.  There's no "main OS instance" when you use Live Upgrade that way.

cheers,
