Buying the ROMS is one thing, expecting them to replace the ROMS if you
decide they don't work is another.  Even a car dealer has the sign
saying "electrical parts are not subject to return" because once it 
has been out of their hands it can be damaged in so many ways.

But beside this the only actual statement out of Apple at this point
has been the statement that Apple will not guarantee the ROM upgrade
to be compatible with any one elses mods and hardware.  This statement
by Andy Hertzfeld contained the information that even the Hyperdrive
as currently configured would NOT work with the new ROM.
