It's important to note though that if you quietly (or even publicly) patch 600k devices to fix a bug, nobody cares. Plus, doing so is still a crime: it's 600k instances of accessing a computer system without permission. It's also far, FAR easier to write a stream of 0s to the bootloader than it is to decompile and debug bad firmware.
