The downside is that you are testing or running a third party version which is not approved by the vendor. You are not confident of what you are installing or which components are being or are not being affected. This is more true now than ever with Honeycomb, because Google has refused to release the source code giving the case of so many broken Froyo versions out there.

It's not an official vendor's release, period. And instead of playing around, it is better to wait and get the Motorola or Google patch.

Of course, owners are free to test and do whatever they want with their devices but with a price tag of 800 bucks I would expect or install something that is coming from the same people who sold the tablet, not an XDA hacker.

Open source is nice and I actually run Linux instead of Windows, but Android and tablets area a bit different; silly tweaks can seriously affect battery's life or even network and filesystem security like leaving open ports or expose sensitive data by mistake.
