Where exactly did they say user won't be able to boot/install other OSes on the device at all?

They said:

Jolla phone will be a real smartphone aimed at the mass consumer market. It will not be aimed to just Linux-geeks. Consumer will not be able to directly hack the kernel or to flash it with new software.

Our intention is to make separate version for Open Source community, Linux enthusiasts and people interested about open systems, in which these (these as in the things mentioned above) will be possible.
That version (mode? whatever, not clearly explained) will allow installing other OSes I assume. How exactly this will be (same device, some "open mode" on?, separate device?) is not clear.
