I think the writer of that article is making a big deal over nothing. Every electronic device has to abide by FCC regulations before it can be released to the masses. So, they must have had the approval of the FCC before a single Pre made it to a Sprint store. Now, I do think it would be a big issue if Palm stealthily had the update install after 7 days, but they are making it known what is to happen when an update arrives. Plus, it gives you 7 days to install the update. 1 full week is plenty of time to update your phone and test if the firmware installed properly.

I think the author either has something against Palm, is a Pre hater, or is a big fan of hacker communities, and doesn't like the idea of a forced update that could potentially break homebrew firmware.
