Not necessary to send the extracted software. If and when I want to
see the new firmware, I'm perfectly happy to download that big file;
however, it does not make sense for some user who is using the
openSUSE script to wait through a large download just to install firmware.

No. Michael assigns a new number whenever he releases a new version.
All the new files are supposed to be listed with that number. At least
I think that is the way it works. Version 12 is the last one released.
