Specifically for the Flame device, I am currently blocked by
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1237127 in order to make FOTA
possible for Flame.  The goal is to supply T2M with a FOTA build , have the
host the build and then change our FOTA servers to point to that FOTA build
for any build lower than it and then any other newer build can be FOTA'ed
by that base build.

This is in the works.  Technically T2M is hosting the build so this will
resolve any legal issues of distribution.  (Process was reviewed by our
legal team and OK'ed).

Regards,
Naoki
