However, it is worth noting that the option to boot from OTP does potentially allow some classes of bootrom bug to be patched (in applications where you want the bootrom but don't need much of the OTP for anything else).
For example, it should be straightforward to fix E10 (the one where you need an extra dummy section in .UF2 files to get the flash set up).
Obviously this doesn't help much with the security ones (as bootrom runs at least minimally before entering the OTP), and none of the other ones look like they are worth doing anything about (given the existing workaround for E10), but at least the possibility is there.
