What do they mean when they > say it's not officially released and not in the stable state? The firmware which state is stable is under a generic name 'HP Commercial Laptop T90 Family System Update'. This BIOS is not specific to your system. This is the reason why the name convention is changing and eliminate confusion. The BIOS specific to your notebook is found under ' HP Elite Dragonfly Max/Dragonfly G2 Notebook PC T90 System Update' which status is 'embargo-hp-ws'. BIOS in 'embargo' state are not declared as stable or released. The LVFS documentation describes the firmware state flow as Private -> Embargo -> Testing -> Stable > > >> HP Elite Dragonfly Max/Dragonfly G2 Notebook PC T90 System Update > > > > >> BTW, the name on LVFS will be changed per customer request in CQ2 refresh. Customers want to have product names included in the name. The last columns in tables are the name to be displayed on LVFS from CQ2 refresh. See attached JPEG for upcoming LVFS name changes in CQ2 refresh. > That's a great change, having the laptop name explicitly will be much clearer.
