Firmware update sustainability KPIs/graphs/visus

[phaze75]

As regular firmware updates over multiple years is the key factor for sustainability, the development of corresponding KPIs/graphs/visus would be very helpful. They should help to find quick and easy answers to following questions:

• How often do vendors publish firmware updates for their devices? Which are the ones investing in sustainable devices with long lifecycles? Which vendors are "lazy" and just sell "fire and forget" devices?
• When has the last firmware update been published? Is the device still maintained?
• On which reference versions (e.g. Matter, Thread) are their latest firmware versions based? Is the reference used for the firmware up to date or outdated?

Agree @phaze75
Keeping devices up to date in the database will be a key aspect.
And there we count on our wonderful community, incl. potentially vendors engaging in it.
So, if the database has that historic data we can transparently show it, like the FW update evolution over time.
