Hello!

I addressed that in 084b76a70a6b302529f3450e6d07f1d105a10f7d, not by
adding ‘--skip-checks’, but instead by adding a ‘safety-checks?’ field
to <machine-ssh-configuration>.  This is consistent with the
‘allow-upgrades?’ field that was added to skip downgrade checks.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
