This is great but my understanding is that system-user assertion  signing
key has to match with the model. So this works well for development device
where I am the brand. But does it work for (for example ) a drone where I
am not the brand but the owner?

be there for the upcoming milestone. The system-user one will be there.

Good to know

Thanks
