I noticed at the bottom of the downloads page, there is now a disclaimer that says this...

Yikes! So if it crashes, and it's the firmware's fault, not ours, it's still our fault!?!
I'm now going to wait and make sure the firmware is safe to use before I update now haha! :3

that has been there for a good while

Been there for some time. Pretty standard type of disclaimer.
