While I agree that this sound nice this will virtually guarantee DRM-encumbered features of devices reaching their legally-required unlock date will be set to fail immediately. That'll force those devices to become e-waste anyway. No more streaming videos, no more using your bank's app, etc.

It's sort of like compiling a big package of code. Just keep trying to compile and fixing the errors that come up until it compiles.
