I'd be really happy with products having to be labeled with:
1. Final date the manufacturer will provide firmware updates & security updates
2. If the manufacturer will support open source alternative firmware & security updates.
3. If there are any subscription fees (and how much) to get firmware updates & security updates.
Issue #1 is a big deal: I've purchased equipment, new in the box, after the mfg had discontinued support. I've also ran into issues with devices where updates required a subscription. I'd love a little disclosure.

Final date the manufacturer will provide firmware updates & security updates 2. If the manufacturer will support open source alternative firmware & security updates. 3. If there are any subscription fees (and how much) to get firmware updates & security updates. It would be great if you could file an official comment with your thoughts on exactly what disclosures are needed and why you think they're necessary. We want to get this right.
