Facetime? Lion? Which version?

[rangen]

If you have purchased the Facetime app via the Mac App Store, when upgrading to Lion, is it replaced by the native copy bundled with Lion, or does your App Store purchased version remain?

The Lion version is newer than the one in the MAS, so it'll get upgraded.

That makes sense, but would not follow the iLife logic for example, whereby copies bought on The App Store do not update via software update.

That is true... but this is an OS install. OS installs can override these rules.

It upgraded the beta version I had downloaded when it first came out to the latest version (I never bought the release version from the app store).
