Does the KitKat upgrade override an uninstalled JB OTA?

[Android Question]

I have a stock & unrooted Nexus 4 running JB 4.2.2. I decided not to install 4.3 a while back because of some of the problems I had read about in that release.

My question is, when the 4.4 OTA upgrade becomes available for me, will it override or replace the 4.3 upgrade that is on my phone waiting to be installed, or do I have to give in and install 4.3 before it will prompt me for 4.4?

Thanks, couldn't find the answer to this anywhere.

You probably won't, because the answer will probably depend on whether the 4.4 OTA will require the 4.3 OTA to have been installed.

I've restored factory images that were several releases back to my Galaxy Nexus before and then received subsequent, sequential OTA updates for the not-yet-installed versions that needed updating.

This tells me that you'll probably have to install the 4.3 update first before the 4.4 update will be presented to you.

Also, the updater-script that's inside the OTA that cross-checks your system usually checks for checksums that match your current version and the version being installed/updated to. So, in all likelihood, a 4.4 update will not install directly from a 4.2 update if there had been an intervening 4.3 update available.

Just a guess, but it makes sense that it would work this way.
