it has already happened plenty of times before fw_update was created -- as a result, why fw_update was created by halex at my request. in that timeframe since, no new firmwares have shown up in the place where fw_update looks. unfortunately that is not proof that this will not happen in the future. so the answer to your question is: At least once in the future.
