I'm surprised I get no constructive feedback on this ticket. Now that
it's trivial to try a firmware with patched-out IDCODE check why isn't
anybody trying that? Probably in fact I'm wrong to bother at all and
nobody just gives a damn and it's a non-issue?

>From reading that github ticket thread I got an impression that the
protection is performed by the main firmware. And it's probably
checking some byte that's flashed with the bootloader, right, but
nobody has tested it yet, and also nothing prevents ST from ignoring
that byte in the new not-yet-released versions of the firmware, so I
wouldn't count on it.
