Think you'll find any device in any area of any industry has exactly
the same warnings about firmware upgrades. I've seen security
equipment worth thousands being reduced to a pile of scrap with a
borked firmware upgrade process.

Usually though, there is some way of undoing the knackering of the
device, it's not always a user function though so gets ommitted from
manuals. It's aeasier to just say 'don't ever do it'.
