What?
Although this should not come as a surprise, since is ReadyNAS have been abandonware for a long time.

They also changed the apt configuration, so there are things you'd need to undo in order to use apt in ssh.
This doesn't surprise me, since the changes necessary to allow app upload with Debian Jessie do present a potential (but, IMHO, manageable) risk. Netgear could be setting themselves up for a lawsuit if they implemented them in an official release.
But now, if they release something beyond 6.10.10, everyone is going to have to decide if losing app capability is worth whatever other change they make.
If they ever do put 6.10.10 on the upload server, then the forum will likely be inundated with people wondering what happened to the app upload capability, even if they have no immediate need for it.
FWIW, I am wondering what the undocumented uboot changes accomplish. I am hoping that they didn't remove tech support mode.
Anyway, I put 6.10.10 on my test NAS (RN102), but will not put it on my operational NAS until I've had a chance to kick the tires a bit. One option is to take a closer look at what they did to remove ReadyCloud, and see if I can do that on a 6.10.9 system.
They must have uploaded it to the upload server because I get prompted for this update and I was unaware of it until it prompted me. But, now I have questions:
- The Apps installation function is removed from the Apps section on the System page (also referred to as Overview page) of the Admin Page.
What does this mean exactly? I am not aware of any "Apps Installation" function from the "System - Overview" page. I'm only aware of being able to install only "Featured Apps" directly from that page. Normally if I want to install an app, I click the Apps tab then Upload. And I still install and upload apps often which are just docker apps that I can start and stop through frontview but uploading is a ReadyNAS plugin/app to install as the "latest" docker image to update. Are you saying if I update to 6.10.10, I can no longer install any app???

StephenB - What do you mean by this? I still install my own ReadyNAS apps that utilize docker and work just fine - why would they prevent this? (ie: Docker, GitLab, Heimdall, Logitech Media Server, Portainer, Sabnzbd, Syncthing, Vault Warden)

Yep, this is what happens when you install 6.10.10 ..
Thankfully you can re-install 6.10.9 and get that feature back (for now)
