You should always run from the SD not from flash from now on.
Even the OTA occurs it only affects the SD not flash and therefore bootmenu will never be deleted and you still have option to go back to flash as a known stable state. Once awhile, you can update apps in flash when booting from flash but never update it when the OTA attemps to update the kernel and such.... Even with backups, it takes too much time to restore...
