The default should be whatever product was installed onto the system
originally.  Going from Fedora 20 to a Product in F21 is probably a one-off
but I'm not sure what that should look like.  I could be totally wrong but
I believe that each of the Products will have their own install image.  With
that in mind, fedup might need a one-off bit of UI to ask which Product
image you want to use.  That image would then set the Product on the disk
accordingly.
