 A general approach could be to integrate SWUpdate with a storage to allow one
 a delta upgrade from any release. 
 
+Support for OpenWRT
+===================
+
+OpenWRT is used on many routers and has its own way for updating that is not power-cut safe.

+Selective downloading
+=====================

+Bandwidth can be saved not only via delta, but identifying which part of the SWu must be
+loaded and skipping the rest. For example, SWUpdate can detect the versions for artifact before
+downloading them and ask the servers to send just the relevant artifacts.

+Support for BTRFS snapshot
+==========================
+
+BTRFS supports subvolume and delta backup for volumes - supporting subvolumes is a way
+to move the delta approach to filesystems, while SWUpdate should apply the deltas
+generated by BTRFS utilities.
