    Still safer for users than no updates at all

      True. But, the requirements say 5Yrs of OS upgrades. A security update is not an actual upgrade. I wonder how it will pan-out; If OEMs will simply use the security update as a upgrade replacement.

      availability of operating system upgrades for longer periods (at least 5 years from the date of the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model)

        That’s the interesting bit, because aren’t we then basically talking about ten years of upgrades?

        I suspect OEMs will pull devices from shelves quicker to try and limit their software obligations.
