Such risks are unknown. You have to trust, in the case of LegOS, that
Markus did a reasonable job. He in turn probably has some amount of trust
that I did a reasonable job, at least with regards to some aspects. If
you're not sure about whether or not these risks are significant, and if
you're worried about having to replace a broken Lego brick, then by all
means listen to the disclaimers, don't make use of the information on my
web page, and don't use LegOS.
Of course, if you're looking for reasons to be confident with LegOS,
conisder that Markus and others have been using the software with no
destructive effect. As more and more people use the software, you can be
more and more sure that the software is okay.
