If you're producing product in any sort of volume this is a poor 
strategy, in my opinion. Apart from not guaranteeing the part, Philips 
are under no obligation to keep the boot loader the same: they can 
change it at any time (as long as the published interface and 
production functionality remain the same). If part of your production 
process is to patch the device before you use it, what happens when 
the patch location changes? Doesn't bear thinking about....
