The team has already put the tools in place with the addition of Samba.
An 8G USB stick on the pi being shared via Samba would enable the update
image to be stored, then the current configuration could be stored via
the existing command, then as Murphyprecht suggests, an update script
would format the SD card, copy the image over and even if only the WiFi
settings were restored the rest of the settings could be made via the
web pages after a reboot.

And I kept saying to myself 'Why add Samba, it is only a player'.
Brilliant idea Murphyprecht, would save all the disconnecting from the
HiFi system, removing the power supply, fiddling with network cables
etc. First world problems I'll happily admit, but an 8Gb USB stick is
only a few bucks and it could save a lot of fiddling. Greg, here is a
challenge for the new year!
