Comment 6 for bug 950628

1) It's not mandatory to reflash every time, just if you have problems...

2) I'm not sure why that would be, any instructions should start with "get the latest/certain version of sw here and install it according to flashing howto". I mean, any instructions need to ensure that the baseline is the same or they will be obsoleted by sw upgrades (not only firmware).

3) Yes, it's a bit unfortunate that Linaro favors so much the SD approach which is vulnerable for this issue. Documenting that there is a dependency on the release page is definitely a good idea.

4) Depends on the POV, reflashing for me _restores_ the known state ;)
