And just because selfdestruction not YET implemented doesn't mean you ever will get a way to recover from accidental destruction/damage to the system. And then you're back to what?

The difference between "you can't downgrade"(HARM) and "You can't flash at all"(Jolla) is marginal, with actually HARM being the less nasty concept here.

Sorry I'm out on this game, been there seen that.
