All of the Kobo software remains functioning just as it did. I am not familiar with how the "jailbreak" of the Kindles work, maybe for those, such a statement has some validity, but it is my understanding that the Kindle software also functions normally with Koreader added to the device.

I have seen a number of posts where people have a fear of trying KOReader, just because they didn't want to risk loosing access to the original firmware.

In order to gain user base, I think these kind of processes should be done and explained in the most straightforward possible way. I understand the technical and priority challenges in a big project like KOreader, of course

Another possible posts to move here (I'll update it in the coming days):

OT: Anyone could provide some text about the technical details behind Zsync transport? It seems to use Bonjour.
