Not hard to agree, is it?

To bring this back on topic, firmware for a product like the MOTM-650 is not
likely to be as buggy as desktop software, for one because the amount of
code is small. And because the functionality is also relatively small,
making it easier to test. But OTOH, most software of any kind has lurking
bugs. To turn this into a question, how easy will it be to upgrade the
firmware in MOTM digital modules?
