and in order to get 30k devices (more actually) upgraded I'll have to
spend 30k+X dollars? I'm fairly certain that's not going to happen. This
gets back to 2 things:
1) no (practical) upgrade path under security vulnerabilities (hence
reluctance of vendors to release info without fix)
2) possibly unhappy customers and vulnerabilities silently fixed in other
code trains.
Oh well...
