Amazing project! It's incredibly well engineered, imo.
It's really nice to read the author's blogposts describing how he forces hardware vendors to get their shit together and either use a standardized update mechanism or create a thoroughly tested open source plugin.
I remember the first time I got a Dell laptop and put Ubuntu on it, GNOME Software immediately prompted me to install a firmware update. I was so amazed by this. It really felt like Ubuntu was finally a first-class citizen. I'm still completely sold on Dell because of this experience. Sadly they still don't upload all the firmware for all machines. I have no idea why though..
