The risk is, therefore, not widespread. The last time I did this jailbreak (I didn't unlock it before), I pretty quickly restored the phone back to a Steve Jobs approved state because it wasn't booting. This was a fairly painless and quick process and yes, didn't require Cydia. geohot made this extremely easy!

Re security -- the user is making this choice. It is not like I'm walking around an my phone is being breached. The same type of "update" is available for Nokia's and other phones too. Just the market for those with iPhones is much bigger. It interesting to me that I didn't even need cydia this time and the "slowness" that my phone ended up with on other jailbreaks / unlocks doesn't seem to have manifested itself at this point.

Hardly seems like them, but a valid point none the less. Apple open-sourcing stuff? Hardly seems like them, but a valid point none the less.
