Dear all

I find this draft useful for what it is: a summary of the discussions 
from the software update workshop.

I have two minor comments. I hope they can be addressed in the future 
versions:

1. For me scheduling of updates is important: I don't want my connected 
light bulb to update at night when I am using it. Although software 
updates should be as automated as possible, complete automation can lead 
to havoc. Continuing on the light example, I may want to only update the 
light bulbs in one room and see the consequences before updating the 
light bulbs in my entire house. How to encourage/force users to perform 
critical updates is still an important concern. The draft does touch 
upon this but never states this explicitly as a requirement. I am hoping 
that this can be addressed somewhere in the draft?

2. The draft provides a lot of useful examples. For example, I found it 
useful to read the story about Little Printer and how its code was 
released as open source. I am hoping that the draft could try to 
document more examples. There are other open source projects that have 
been picked up by the community such openwrt and cyanogenmod. Similarly, 
while the eyefi example is useful, perhaps it would nice to document the 
case of Revolv smart hub which is no longer supported. I don't think 
documenting all the examples out there is necessary, but providing many 
references and examples would definitely help.

Thanks
/--Mohit
