I think we run this risk regardless. All it takes is one pissed off newb stomping into a store with our ROM on their phone, or a user with a bricked phone and this URL as where he downloaded the program that bricked his phone demanding a new unit to start trouble.
I can't help but think this is exactly what happened to XDA. Too many complaints/insurance claims where the service center finds a non standard ROM on the bricked phone.
What we need to stress is that if someone bricks their phone using any of the tools here or elsewhere it is their responsibility to fix the issue. We need to clearly illustrate how to recover from a failed upgrade and return to the stock ROM.
I think it also needs to be stressed that these ROMs are not supported by the phone vendor or the cell provider and if someone uses their phone for business and it is a vital tool that messing with cooked ROMs is probably not the smartest idea.
Maybe we should password protect all of these ROMs or make people register for a different site to download.

When I was buying my PPC6700, there was a PPC6700 owner at the service counter with a broken display. All of his business contacts were on the phone and he had not backed it up. He was screaming and ranting. I honestly felt sorry for this guy because I thought he was going to cry.
I can't help but think that some people might try upgrading without considering the potential consequences.
