Maybe I’ve still got the old PS3/PSP-exploit mentality, but reporting an arbitrary code execution vuln to the OEM is kind of sad… that deliberately closes a door for people to use their devices as they see fit.

Of course, the “don’t update after this firmware version” bit would always be the case (since any widely-distributed such vuln will be patched eventually), but deliberately moving the timeline to the left is sad.
