Everyone,
Appreciate the feedback, however, we absolutely do take all feedback seriously.
In terms of expressed concern and frequency, if we determine there is something needing attention, we do everything possible to address that concern.
That said, yes, this process has not been what we want and we are doing everything we can to balance out an outcome that matches our customer’s expectations, reality in terms of release state and our own expectations.
We have been hyperactive in collecting community provided data, doing our due diligence in reproducing user experiences to ensure everything is where it needs to land.
The EFI updater very much is a focus of attention, work and forward movement. There are number of considerations we must focus on to make sure when it’s ready, it works well for everyone.
Look, I am a full time Linux user. I get it, this is frustrating. Full stop, I get it.
I will state this. I have personally been involved in testing and re-testing and re-re-testing. This is NOT something that is remaining idle. Rather, it is actively being worked on. But there are elements we need to sort before we release this.
What I am asking for is this. Keep providing us with your user test data if you are comfortable. Each test, each provided data point is extremely helpful in us getting this done.
The fastest track is us getting an overflow of data like you have all done an amazing job with thus far. Invaluable and appreciated as it helps us get to the other end of this.
Thanks to each and every one of you for working through this with us.
