I'm pretty sure there were some who called the Wright brothers madmen.
I respect the stance of those who'd use their phones for calls only... (not even daring to play music or browse the net, for fear of damaging it)....
I also respect those who overclock, flash, and do whatever else is possible with it. For them, that's it's purpose.... the hack-ability of it etc

The Wright brothers didn't just glue together couple pieces of leather and jump off the nearest cliff. They worked and researched the stuff for years.

What is happening here in regards to PR1.2 RC L34K is hardly similar to that. Perhaps if they cook their own roms and infuse it with a significant portion of their own codes, then we're talkin.
