We are at a major shift in the linux user base -- many new users who have
never used a command-line will never get updates with fwupdmgr.  For
workstations, the major vendors appear to be looking for big deployments to
cubicle farms where updates are tested by IT against cubicle farm systems.

I suspect the future will have more issues from failure to install updates
than from updates with bugs.
