And using extras-develop -- I think it's impossible to have to send my device to repair as the result of something I've installed from extras-devel. I challenge God: What would I have to install that would force me to send my device to repair -- I'll try it and report back!
Well, I may have to rephrase for the more delicate users, like yourself; an end user, who is a total newbie to Maemo/Linux, will probably have enough hassle trying to re-flash the device which will end in sending the device back because he probably messed it up even more, by re-flashing an old version, etc, etc...

And yes, there are ways of absolutely bricking your device, by installing certain programs that may harm important files, which may be controlling the touch-screen, or booting system, and forth.

I am not here to argue, I gave him my opinion.
