Why, specifically? How is it better than flashing when a user agrees? If the payload is broken, the BIOS is gone either way, and the user has no better way to detect a broken payload than what my system does. The payloads need to be deeply tested either way; if we send bad upgrades out, they'll brick machines regardless of the upgrade method. The "but not as many will be bricked" argument falls on its face -- we can't afford to think about this in terms of damage control. We need to structure our QA in a way that makes it certain there's no damage to control in the first place. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
