I'm not convinced it's really necessary for them to provide the failsafe of having to do a full reset or power cord replacement in order for the firmware update to start. The removal of the files in order to prevent subsequent updates seems like an adequate failsafe to me, and it's not that the update process is potentially that harmful anyway. It seems like unncessary complication to me. Perhaps a simple confirmation yes/no to update if a full update set of files is found on bootup would be clearer?
[edit] I realise an update confirmation would require the unit to already be running (at least partially) a booted firmware. The bootloader may not be smart enough to perform the file checks and offer the confirmation.
