From the blog post:

At this point, I need to remind you about the basics: MeeGo is an open source project and if you choose to install the MeeGo image to your N900 device, you do it completely at your own risk. If you are not confident that you know what you are doing with it and why, please don't use it at all. Especially now, if you start playing with call software under development, you need to watch after your phone bill, as well. Also, please use the latest repositories only, or the next weekly image that is downloadable from the MeeGo repositories every Monday
Remember this.. also, it's not a Nokia product in any way.

Also, for good measure, dual boot isn't 'easily', what's being included in PR1.3 kernel is kexec functionality. Right now we actually have a very easy 'dual boot' (write an image to your microsd, load using PC flasher)

The verdict on what specific technology to use for actual multiboot is still up in the air, but we're bordering on u-boot still as the usual multiboot solution isn't suitable for MeeGo and >2.6.28 kernels.
