Hi,

We're considering dropping the UX capsule support in fwupd. None of
the OEMs seem to be using it, and nobody has told me they're planning
to support it. Dropping the code would reduce the fwupd plugin
complexity quite a bit and so a proposal has been put forward to stop
doing something that nothing seems to be using. If you're using the UX
capsule, or am planning to use it, please reply to me privately
off-list. Thanks.

Richard.
