Firmware update is temporarily unavailable

The problem

Can someone shed some light on why the firmware update utility was hidden? It happened in a direct commit rather than a PR, so there's no information explaining the change. Is that best practice?

Is this related to the voltage regulator failure in some way?

Context: I needed to upgrade the EZSP protocol version in order to use Zigbee2MQTT (which I think has a required minimum version of 13; the ZBT-1 I received was on 9). This required updating the device firmware. The only user-friendly and well-documented way to do that is the web firmware update tool. I had to edit the html in Chrome Inspect to essentially reverse that commit, and was able to update firmware that way and get z2m working. Not a great user experience.

Alternatively, I would suggest documenting detailed instructions on how to safely update the firmware with command line or other tools.
