[osflash] OSFlash Roadmap: asking for your opinion

Hi Aral,

As a friend, I would advise you against this solution. I would love like
other people here to have OSFlash becoming more automated, but I
personnally don't think there is a substainable business for you with
selling this kind of services, since there's already quite a lot of
competition there, CVSDude being just one of them.

Best,
Nicolas
