While i welcome the openness from Logitech, there are some elements that irks me.

First off i do not like the trend of giving every damn vulnerability found a cute name and logo.

Second, the tool presented here seems overly reliant on the presence of the Freedesktop permissions model.

Rather than having a tool that root can run to do the firmware update and leave it at that, there is talk of daemons and d-bus interfaces to schedule updates and whatsnot.

Maybe all this makes sense once one has 1000s of computers one wants to manage from a central UI. But for individual desktops it seems massively overdesigned.
