It sound weird to me.
If we assume what you said here, FMP driver is expected to handle
a capsule image solely based on "index" but without knowing which type (id)
the image belongs to.
I don' think it can be universal assumption for all kind of FMP's.
Why must we have different semantics of set_image() for normal (non-A/B-update)
case and A/B update case?
