Let's hope nobody gets to test it.
I agree.

What I don't really get there is : what do you expect these "incompatibilities" to result in, if not a broken device ?
Incompatible blood types result in a pretty bad outcome for instance.
Incompatibility may be perceived as a trifle inconvenience, but strictly speaking it's not. It's a serious business. But arguably yes, this word has lost some strength as of late, maybe it's not very appropriate.
What I expect from firmware incompatibility between devices is that something will go wrong, somewhere down the line of trying to install it. However, I do expect there to be hard reset options. So basically, this boils down to the first point again. (Incompatibility leads to hard reset; 'broken' leads to throw it in the bin.)

I do reckon that they could, and should, make the risks more explicit, as we get more and more to have to explain the obvious (Hey guys, you know, these cigarettes things, they do tend to cause several unpleasant health issues such as, you know, cancer and death. Let's write it on the packs, so that people are finally aware).
It's sad but it's the way it is.
It seems we agree after all then
