I was just thinking...if Dell pulled the A05 ROM update from their website, reportedly because it could be hacked and used to upgrade PPC2002 units, will this mean all future ROM updates will only be issued in CD form? If hackers figured out how to do it with the A05 upgrade patch, what's to stop them from doing it with a A06, A07, etc. patch?

That would make future updates a huge pain. Imagine having to order and wait 3-4 weeks for a CD to arrive in the mail each time the ROM is updated. I hope this dosen't happen, but from recent events it looks like it could.
