For reference, I'm answering this question: fw_update installs or
updates firmware that is legally permitted to distribute.  On a VM,
one can do without it, better to use is on bare metal.

Well, Mojca and others have already answered this one.  I will not add
here any off-topic comments, but I would like to remind that I already

Norbert, you and others do an extraordinary amount of work at the
service of the community; I would just like to express my grateful
thanks for your time!
