Are you really equating an incremental silent update to remove something between one if statement or slightly more and an entire protocol stack that when active fundamentally changes the host networking behavior?
Yeah. On the devices I have, there's no practical difference between a one line update and a complete reload. Either you update the software or you don't, and mostly you don't. PCs and servers are easy, embedded routers and printers and the like are not.
And on your mobile devices, for the most part you are reliant upon your carrier to make software updates available to you in a timely and utilitarian manner. In other words, don't hold your breath. Carriers are the major barrier to both feature upgrades and security fixes/enhancements. It is tremendously frustrating. - - ferg - -- Paul Ferguson PGP Public Key ID: 0x54DC85B2 Key fingerprint: 19EC 2945 FEE8 D6C8 58A1 CE53 2896 AC75 54DC 85B2 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlWnA/oACgkQKJasdVTchbJAWAD8DhRq1QlPZlZhH8Apr66od+NU Tz8F1bLqu6+3dymwNJEBANjyOh0jwwHhIZk1hOy/jIj8lCuUkYQjuFZlzZFYfwh8 =NuSw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
