For now maybe just fork the policies into two -
with and without dry run attr. We'll improve the granularity later
when doing the YAML conversion.

Not quite sure I follow this. I guess just add a separate policy
array with dry_run and then make that the policy for the flash update
command? I don't think flash update is strict yet, and I'm not sure
what the impact of changing it to strict is in terms of backwards
compatibility with the interface.

Strictness is a separate issue, the policy split addresses just
the support discoverability question.

Right, ok.
