I think there needs to be a balance between one app being able to flash it's own kernel, rootkit your entire system and software freedom somehow.
Only if the community was willing and capable of helping me whenever I got stuck.

Case in point. I have a Motorola Xoom. I lurk over at XDA a lot and once I got sorta in a sticking point with a certain flash. I got hit up behind the scenes by one of the main ROM builders, we worked it out and apparently I found a nasty pitfall that could have hit others. He acknowledged that, walked me through it - he hit it once himself, thought it was a one-off - and they were able to fix that for later builds.

That level of community support would have to exist for me to accept that. But in the end, yes. I'd accept it.
