I might be able to help on that day.

That sounds more tricky. I'll have time but little networking by then.
If the IUK is small in size and I don't have to download an new ISO to
test it then this might be possible.

I was worried about people with a persistence volume on their Tails
1.0.1 device but I tried the procedure to do "Clone & Upgrade" from
Tails 1.1 experimental onto Tails 1.0.1 and this works.
So documenting the steps to install the new Tails Installer in the
release notes seems acceptable to me. You anyway need two Tails USB
sticks to do a full upgrade, either to "update from ISO" or "clone &
upgrade".
