Uhh, this might be a stupid question, but what actually prevents us
from integrating the FedUp process into install media (that is, not
live images)? I mean, yeah, it's nice that we can do upgrades online,
but what about when the system we need to upgrade doesn't necessarily
have online access? I'd like to be able to trigger the upgrade
environment from install media (like with a Fedora Server ISO).

Likewise, being able to upgrade from a netinstall ISO by triggering
the environment would be cool too. I don't know how practical it would
be, but it'd be nice if it could be done...
