<div>The existing agreed upon SRU policy for firmware
updates (<a
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates"
moz-do-not-send="true">firmware-updates - Ubuntu
Wiki</a>) allows for updating the fwupd/fwupdate
stack as necessary within a given stable
release series. This strategy has worked well for a
good period of time, but recently there have been
several things that have changed putting it's
efficacy into question.</div>

<div>Because of this collection of issues and the
expectation that more devices will be supported by
newer versions of the stack again in the future, I'm
wondering if we should adopt a different policy for
firmware update utilities to allow moving to a newer
version of the stack in LTS releases. I would like
input from the technical board on this.</div>

<p>We discussed this during the TB meeting on January 27; it was
agreed upon[1] that this is entirely the remit of the SRU team. As
such, we'll let them decide on how best to handle this.</p>
