-XXX Onion ref?
+An important feature of pointer records, due
+to the simple underlying block abstraction, is
+that it is possible to
+for example burn the new versions of packages
+(and their pointers records) to a CD
+to take to a machine that is not connected
+to a network. Because the versioning model only
+uses the pointer blocks as data, the software upgrade
+should simply work out in such a case.
