Yes, I didn't emphasized it, sure there will be two ways but with DRM disabled some stuff will not work so you e.g. cannot play game you bought with non-hid bluetooth keyboard (unless uinput is enabled in signed kernel) etc. That basically means modified kernels with harmless fixes will be a no go for people buying stuff from ovi store (i.e most regular people). We'll see how much this will hurt.

And then with all this restrictions and inconvenience in place, security exploit will be found in signed kernel, and all this is in vain anyway.
