Salt is no longer the preferred method, though it is still supported. Instead, `qubes-dom0-update` is recommended for updating dom0, and `qubes-vm-update` is recommended for updating templates and standalones. (The recommended way to update via the GUI has not changed. The Qubes Update tool is still the preferred method.)
