We are not upgrading between versions only appying SMUs and service
packs to the current version. In the case of moving from 4.3.4 to
5.1.3 and now moving to 5.3.3 (since that is the new extended
maintenance release); the process is erase the box, and install from
fresh, then upload the full config.

If you suitable OOB connectivity this can happen remotely and be
automated. I don't like the idea of having patched code that is then
upgraded and patched further.

Cheers,
