Yes, you are. Notice however that depending on the repositories your image 
uses, fixes may not be immediately available. If there is a new version of the

up as well, so no need to reinstall.

We have no direct influence on the installer since it is provided by the Mer 
project. It might be a good idea ask them to include that option, though.
