    @diondokter As a bonus, once the new firmware has received the OK to engange rollback protection, it can use the whole image B area for wear leveling. (Compating to the single page is still not an issue because In My Perfect Little World, storage structures are all sized at build time, and under-utilizing them is a wear-leveling optimization only).

    @chrysn Yes, that makes a lot of sense!

    I've done something similar where we'd just revert to (new) defaults for most things on firmware upgrade and save the critical user config on a single page (which almost never changed).

    But not everyone has the foresight and don't have anything that can recover from format changes
