Not sure that helps. The issue is that their software can't be audited. If it was at least open source you would see any potential backdoor.
Their recent announcement of the recovery service, think what you want, does not change that issue but has only brought attention to it.
It would help in that it would address the flashable firmware concern of their existing customer base. But I agree open source is the only way to work on reestablishing trust.
Yea.. Thought about it again. Makes sense to have it separated. More feature-rich software is more complex and hence more vulnerable.
Keep it simple... Like Bitcoin.
