Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

if we want to give the end user a way to choose between updates, AUS and patcher need to be able to generate update snippets with multiple updates.

specficially, I mean things like:

<updates>
<update type="minor" version="2.0.0.1" extensionVersion="2.0" ...>...</update>
<update type="major" version="3.0.0.0" extensionVersion="3.0" ...>...</update>
</updates>

the client side of this is bug #349579

note, there are no immediate plans to add this.  but see http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Feature_Brainstorming:Software_Update for some brain stormed features which might require this, such as:

"Allow users to select type of updates they want (security? feature?)"

this is just a reminder bug, so that if we decide we want to fix #349579, I don't forget to specify the requirements and schedule this with the server guys.

as of Fx 2, this is *not* a requirement.
