I am concerned about one thing (as much for my hack as for this) - each "lowering of the bar to entry" admits a fresh crop of users with successively weaker computing skills.
That's not meant as a slam of anybody, but it does mean that the risk of a user creating a brick is somewhat elevated until we can get all rooters onto the 1.49.2000 (S-OFF) bootloader. At least that creates a safe "backstop" against recovery partition disasters.
I think the next thing to do would be to get a "one click 1.49.2000" hack put together (or an update.zip equivalent) - something that can also be used to get the engineering bootloader onto their phones, without using fastboot/adb/SDK.
No promises, but I'll see what I can do.
