Dave Taht, Vint Cerf and a cast of thousands pointed out that made it
harder for the FCC instead of easier, and they quietly changed their

Some vendors have continued to block updates, citing the original
guidance, but that's just their justification for an attempt to force
hardware replacement rather than software update.
