One thing that we totally lose the ability to do is use the capsule interface for things *other* than firmware updates, e.g. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/16/327 Also, requiring embedded or custom OS to include fwupdate into their existing boot solutions is a bit heavy handed when literally all they want to do is cat a binary blob to a sysfs file. I don't see why we can't have both solutions. Another thing is that ESRT isn't going to be supported by every platform. So, for the sysfs interface, let's not allow loading from /lib. Let's not require a userland tool. Let's just do, # echo /path/to/my/awesome/capsule.bin > /sys/../capsule and be done with it.
