And I keep totally ignoring all arguments why it should stay that way. So, yes, *today* it is the way it is, and I think "automated and mandatory updates" should have been designed into SW probes from day one - that boat has sailed, but I still think that this is a desirable goal. To repeat my argument: if I schedule a measurement across 100 probes, I do not want to deal with different results purely caused by different probe software versions (like, "30 of them do not support TLS1.3 yet, the other 970 do", which might look like "something is interfering with TLS1.3 measurements for these 30 probes").
