I see that as a good thing.  When you have a two way conversation, you 
accomplish much more than have one side dictate what the other does.  I 
get 
tired of companies driving the creation of music because that is how their 
product works.  The more companies that are willing to listen to their 
customers the better things will be for everybody.  Providing a mechanism 
for field upgrading firmware just seems to be a must in this day and age. 
20 years ago, I would have said that field upgrades simply aren't 
practical, 
but now the cost of the parts required to allow this are quite reasonable.
