Yes, that bit of the PR is annoyingly coy, isn't it?

JTAC told me:

"""
So, you need to perform the secure erase of the contents on the SSD to 
fix this issue.
This secure erase is done by TAC and I will work with service manager of 
this account to check how to move forward on this.
"""

This is just weird; it's not like a secure erase is some kind of 
super-secret thing - just break into the shell from alternate boot media 
and run the command - so why not document it for customers to self-perform?

I have to wonder if there's more to it than that.
