Why do you care? They are working with their devices. They know the risks and are obviously willing to accept it. And KSM has always been capable of bricking a device if used incorrectly. The first post is labelled to show it is not being updated for newer firmware and devices. If others are able to workout how to get it working, then that is a good thing.

And while I don't use KSM, NickelMenu and KFMon, the latter are not real replacements for KSM. Or that is how it looks to me. With KSM you can boot directly to an alternative reader, such as KOReader, without ever seeing the Kobo software. That is what some people want to do and it makes a lot of sense to do that if you don't want to use nickel.

Jon: One warning is reasonable. But, continuing to harp on about it when the people involved are clearly demonstrating that they know what they are doing it only going to damage your reputation.
