Disk overflow -> boom can happen anyway even if you had installed all sets
previously.

Because sysupgrade depends on boot loader changes in late 6.5-current
snapshots, it doesn't need to concern itself with identifying installed
sets from <=6.5, adding a simple flag file to each set would be enough
to detect them. Something like this untested diff (plus an analogue
in x's mkr).
(To be clear, I think installing a restricted subset of the OS for
security reasons is pointless here, but can be really helpful when you
have to deal with limited space in partitions - and those just saying
"storage is cheap" are ignoring the often very real cost of getting
to the machine to replace the storage :)
