With that said though, what makes you think that "most devices" won't

understanding).
Experience with software updates from telcos/manufacturers in the
Android world makes me fairly pessimistic on their incentives to
prepare software updates for devices they've already sold.
Note that as long as they are using our "Firefox" brand to lable it as
"FirefoxOS", we have some leverage in what the requirements are to be
able to use that branding. Security updates have always been a
requirement to use the Firefox brand on distributed packages of e.g.
Linux distributions, I'd think that such a requirement is there for
FirefoxOS as well. If telcos et.c decide to ship without our brands,
calling it "B2G" or "OpenWebPhone" or whatever they please, they escape
that of course, as well as any other requirements we make to use our
brands. They are shipping it, so in the end, it's their decision.
