Restore with your current restore DVD/flash drive first then reinstall to Lion.
I assume new computers will still come with the restore DVD or flash drive in the case of the Air. Sounds like the starting point to me.

So I have to install Snow Leopard, download and update to 10.6.7(?), and then download Lion?
That's a pretty horrible user experience.
Apple distributes combo updates that will take you straight from a base 10.6 install to 10.6.7. You don't play the goofy multiple-version update game.
I'm sure Macs without floppy drives were a terrible experience for people that relied on floppies.
How will having a shipped disk as an option ruin the experience of the majority? You analogy is flawed because floppy drives take up space and cost.
Nic Cage's hair is a bird, my analogy was flawed.
Maybe they will have a disk or other back up option, who knows but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
