Thanks for responses guys.
My thoughts are that it would make a good alternative to Nokia's often unavailable NSU for the peeps who are not too sure about using Maemo Flasher as it stands.
Also think it would give networks like Vodafone less of an excuse, because they are claiming the NSU problems are the reason why they are 2 O/S updates behind, yet they won't allow peeps to update via Flasher-3.5.
