Title:
  Preinstalled apps removed on image upgrade without notice

Bug description:
  During an image upgrade last week the Notes app was removed from the
  image, resulting in that app getting removed from my device
  completely, I wasn't even sure my data was safe.

  I imagine something similar could happen when a framework was dropped
  during an upgrade.

  Something should have told me the app is not going to be available
  after the upgrade, why, and whether I can do anything about it.

  Incompatible apps should probably be left around but unavailable to
  launch, preinstalled apps should maybe just get installed for all the
  users that had them already?

  Or maybe preinstalled apps should just never get removed? Maybe they
  should just be installed on first boot as any other click would, and
  removing it from an image wouldn't do anything?

  To save data, the preinstalled apps could be shipped in a writable
  part of the image somewhere and the .click files removed after
  installation?
