From the article: "We have seen a global right-to-repair movement emerge from maker communities and start to influence public policy around such things as the availability of spare parts. I'd argue that there should be a parallel right-to-maintain movement." That sounds fine, but the the emphasis is on manufacturer hardware and software support, when the issue really is that devices are locked down. Why not unlock the hardware and publish specs after a few years so people can update their own hardware with new roms, updates, alternative firmware and software, etc. The devs at XDA Developers constantly have to work around these issues trying to support their own old (and new) hardware.
