Hey firmware gods, a) Three "latest" firmwares b) Sorting out the firmware upgrade pages

It seems q2d14 is the latest signed firmware. Perhaps Template:Latest_Releases/firmware should only list the latest signed stable firmware, as its _Firmware_ links to the Firmware page that lists all available firmware, latest (unsigned) first. Do you agree? == Sorting out the firmware upgrade pages == http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware is for the general public. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware and the pages for each firmware release are for developers. I rewrote them to * Discourage users from upgrading firmware, and just tell them to upgrade to the latest stable release which usually delivers new firmware. * Refer developers to the Firmware page and then to each firmware's page for developer instructions. I hope that's OK. ==> Does every build tree and image always include some firmware in boot/bootfw.zip ? There's also http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_the_firmware. ==> Is that page obsolete now that each firmware's page transcludes Manual_Firmware_Install?
