Our ROMs are "standalone" so you can install an older version "over" a
newer version and put your ROM back the way it was... :)  I've done this
myself a couple of times for various reasons...

Getting hold of the older images is the tricky bit, since "officially"
you would only do a ROM upgrade as part of an official PKG release to
the update site...
