In an exception to the usual rule, routers included on the Covered List can continue to receive updates at least through March 1, 2027, although the date could potentially be extended.

I guess it depends on what this means here. It COULD mean that you won't get software updates (security updates) next year.

Lol i love how something so massive was just given an arbitrary 1 year date. We all know it's because nobody dealing with this has any clue what the impact is, and any that do don't care because it will probably be making them more money... no way this all happens within a year, and if it does it's gonna be a shit show.
