i hacked. i was crazy nervous about it, but it's been completely smooth so far. good points about the updates and waiting, but realistically, if you hacked before then, you can just wait a day or two after the firmware updates until new 3rd party upgrades are released that address any issues that might arise with 3rd party stuff. if they arise at all.
but the most important thing is, no, my boner hasn't gone down yet.
