So, the FCC posted a thing a couple days ago, saying that they don't
intend to block custom software on wifi devices. But they definitely say
they still want manufacturers to show that they will be able to prevent
software modifications that can provide harmful interference.

They seem to think that this distinction should make me feel better, but
it does not.
The comment period is closed, but the final rules haven't been issued yet.
Do we know what manufacturers are thinking? Are they still thinking of
locking down all modifications because that's the easiest way to stay in
compliance?
It's probably hard to say what else they can do to comply with the rules,
since the final rules haven't been issued yet, but what are we looking at
here?
