Well ... in terms of the net effect of functionality, maybe possibly, but....
It would be more like updating an iPod to a pre-release version of 5.0 that Apple had pretty much got working, but they went out of business before getting it ready to release to more of the public than just testers.
That is, ermine is an official beta release from Entourage. No hacking involved, and no hacker mistakes. It just ... wasn't ready for prime time yet.
And even if it had been, there are things about ermine that users don't like and want to change, and so we're hacking it. Such as, straight ermine can't access the normal Android market.
There are other Android devices where this is true, but it doesn't mean we have to like the situation or accept it!
