Haha, yeah, this is why I started digging around - I kept thinking this should be fairly easy, and wanted to see if I could figure out what it would take to add some minimal protections in. And I'm sure it'd take more than it looks at first glance to add something in - test if the file is there, stuff to account for older devices where the config script isn't there., etc. It *seems* like it shouldn't take more than a few days to implement and test, but who knows

As you say, hopefully this is something they'll add to their list of 'things to do' and come back to at some point in the near future - while I'm sure there are those of us out there that could still brick things if we wanted, it would be nice to have.
