This was supposed to be communicated on DUG#10, but looking briefly at: https://github.com/Dasharo/presentations/blob/main/pages/dug_10/3-dasharo-community-releases-roadmap.md it was not, or I missded it?

EDIT:

It has been briefly mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imhXpjCoQb4&list=PLuISieMwVBpIA51fGDz2dSPDlFE5Df1cE&index=3

But no further actions have been taken.

Changed milestone to DUG#12 as I think we might have missed this announcement.

According to internal discussion the Heads firmware withdrawing will happen for all MSIs, not only for this one. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, for all: https://youtu.be/imhXpjCoQb4?si=uNjs8IF2O1qnImHx&t=1276

The goal of this issue was to communicate it to end users properly, and handle existing users accordingly (e.g. refunds). Let's keep this open until we have a resolution here.

Please, disable Heads for MSI in DTS when it will be appropriate. The example how to do it is available here: Dasharo/dts-configs@b2ebbe9 .
