Firmware is like porn, I know it when I see it. :)

This isn't meant to be an exact definition, but more of a guideline.
That being said, if s/data/software/ makes you happy then we can do

Also, I was asked to s/BLOB/blob/ which seems fine to me too.

Unless anything comes up I'll propose this later today.
