This is what I want to know. Also, one would think that companies like 5-star could also make the same changes Ford is making and add them to their current tunes in a new update to their tunes. Hopefully once they get a chance to see what changes Ford is making, they can add that in there.
But to me, its more important to get this update done so that I can be covered by for in case I need my cam phasers replaced. I've got the startup rattle and I'm scheduled to get the update tomorrow morning. I have a feeling they're going to have to open my engine up sooner or later.

Update to my 2018 with a start up rattle. I took it in 3 weeks ago and picked it back up today. They said the rattle was due to the cam phasers and they had to order parts. When I picked it up they said Ford told them not to replace timing components and only do the PCM update. that took 3 weeks?! kinda mad about that.

I picked up my truck yesterday after the Ford dealer updated the PCM.
It use to have a very small rattle at a cold startup, but for only a second or two.
They had it for a day to fix the rear latch and update.
They told me it takes about an hour and a half to update.
No more rattle.
Still love my "new to me" truck.
