Admittedly I'm a fairly new Linux convert, jumped off the Windoze ship when I couldn't stand my computer telling me what to do anymore.  My skillset is unfortunately still largely based on Google searches...

OK, so you can be pretty much guaranteed that the flash content is encrypted so let the loader do it's thing and then ... you're kidding right?  They've provided a method to interrupt the load/boot sequence?  Oh my.  I can see people are going to be trying that out to see if they can wander around the filesystems / memory map to get a username / salted password from the standard *nix files and presto-change-o login thankyou ma'am.

Of course, firmware updates will be pushed to correct 'issues' and you won't have a choice about it, much the same as per Tesla cars.  Should a username / password become available that door will be shut pretty quickly, I imagine.
