You should legally only be able to break your device after accepting the terms and conditions of Developer Mode.

Anyway, you can install RPMs without Developer Mode with Cargo Dock, too, by exploiting a bug in the store-client (until it will be fixed).
In another thread, somebody shortly described how to do it.
How about having a disabled option (default off) in settings to install RPM files. It goes active as soon as developer mode is enabled. Then you can manually enable that setting.
