I don't get the joke, sorry.
[a few minutes later] Oh, I get it, how funny.

I seem to understand you're sarchastically implying that that wouldn't be
easy at all?
I guess you misunderstood, then. I'm not talking about magically rolling
back for the unfortunate people who already upgraded, I'm talking about
limiting the damages by making it not available until it's fixed.
I mean, when my computer tells me that there is an upgrade available, it's
because it has asked some server, right? Even if it had already stored the
response, it still has to download the upgrade from somewhere. So, I don't
see the difficulty...
