A whole paragraph about this isn't a "sidenote" and even then can't be dismissed just like that.
And because the paragraph says what it says, the warning is very well justified as people might try out this new firmware and afterwards decide to downgrade again, with/without the purpose of running their custom stuff again...

If the artical was about PSP firmware hacks, yeah, I could understand it, but it's not.
The article is about firmwares. period. My warning is about firmwares. period.

It is not my fault that people might not understand what a firmware is and thus find it confussing. If they don't know what a firmware is then they also find the articly itself confussing... For all others who do know what a firmware is, the warning is very well informative...
If I read some article about a new firware update, I certainly want to know if there are any risks involved in "playing" with those firmwares.
Also, did you consider that someone could actually post the question of how to downgrade again? Would that be off topic? No it wouldn't, so isn't my "pre-reply" to it... it's called anticipating on topic questions.

Besides... tbh, I'm not one of the people who posts off topic all the time/regulary or what not (even if this was off topic). I'm perfectly aware on what stuff is off topic or not...
