That is a different process. Rather than upgrade packages, letting
their upgrade scripts handle any needed migrations, it simply deletes
the existing install, and installs the new release. I don't much care
for that idea. It also only applies to desktop installs. From the
bug reports I've seen it also seems to be somewhat unreliable.

Yes, there was some duplication on the old image.

Possibly, but I think that most of the extra 3 GB was rarely used. It
seems like ~1 GB should be enough to cover 90% of the packages most
people need to upgrade. Adding more gets quickly diminishing returns
in terms of the number of packages that a given install needs to
upgrade, while adding more unneeded download for others.
