I think that there is a small misunderstanding here. The people who are
complaining about the program areas left open to read by partial
protection are those who sell or make field upgradeable firmware. This
implies that they have to allow the client (who has ICSP) to write and add
his own code to the free parts of the chip. This is where the current
security scheme fails.
