--- Comment #7 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
The update loop is only seen by people in Russia, Belarus, and parts of
Ukraine, which are (or Cisco believes to be) under US sanctions, and therefore
barred by those sanctions from downloading Cisco's H.264 media codec.

The problem not not that this happens — it's an unavoidable geopolitical issue
— but rather that Discover doesn't handle itself very well when it happens.

It's likely going to be difficult to reproduce the Discover issues in the
future since IIRC apps are moving away from the runtime that includes this
sanctionable software. But in principle the issues could happen again due to
future geopolitical matters if Discover doesn't harden itself against them.
