@cgwalters What do you think? I think you also had nuanced opinions about the word "immutable".
I'll merge tomorrow unless you have some more review points.

@castrojo Is this really a roll back though? @cgwalters Can we roll back to another version in the registry, or only what's on the system?

We're doing this in practice with our images but now that you bring it up I'm not sure how officially supported that is.
The use case is usually when people don't have a pinned snapshot or didn't realize they had a regression on something. The it's useful to be able to grab a remote older version to try to pin down where the regression happened.

switch and rollback I think are 99% equivalent for this. (The difference is if there's any local changes in /etc that were made between the operations)

Thanks for doing this!
It's a challenge since I think the usage of "immutable" is widespread in the industry still years later. My high level thoughts is that it's a word that is only useful at a very introductory level but once you get past the surface it can be more misleading than helpful.
So 👍 to dropping it here.

Sure, although I am not sure there is another word that is helpful.
