It appears some non-rooters wish to raise red flags about rooting your device. I guess they assume you aren't intelligent enough to do your research, read the disclaimers on the NOOK Devs website, assess your personal finances (should you need to buy another NOOKcolor), and make an informed personal choice.
To those who rooted their NOOKcolor share your thoughts on this. We're not debating whether we can and should do a factory reset prior to requesting warranty service from B&N.
Did you overlook these red flags on the NOOK Devs website?:
