For what it’s worth the road map is not going to be targeted at beginners. It’s going to be targeted more towards people who are already knowledgable and give them a way to see what’s on the pipeline for improvement. For end users they are likely to never see the words “TUF” or “The Update Framework”, it’ll be an implementation detail.
