Can OTA updates disable memory protection?

[tllim]

I was interested to read in the September update about a PineTime manufacturing issue ("involved the memory protection, which was still enabled") that there are plans to fix.

I understood the memory protection is part of the APPROTECT register in the UICR flash page and can therefore be set or cleared by an OTA update. Certainly I was planning to update the wasp-reloader to ensure that it is capable of updating the UICR to ensure it will automatically clear the protection bits during an OTA update.

Does that sound right?

The upcoming batch PineTime already has the protection set as disable.
