My position is that software updates extend the lifetime of a device. If a device depends on external services then there's no way you can provide an up-front guarantee that it will still work in 20 years time, but I think it is worth doing what we can to minimize the chance of failure of old devices and old software. (Tangentially sort-of related to CableLabs, smart TVs are not a good example of devices that use external services and continue to work for many years...) > But even if we accept the need for updates, where does the ground truth > for the updates come from?
