it might be... the words "power user" include the word user, for me it
is just clear what is meant but some users might not and will try to
brick their devices. Maybe we find another frase for it more telling
"for high professionals only".

I did not read the wiki entry, this is just a general thought as too
many users allready found dead... bricked their device with devel or
some else; cause not familiar with CLI or GNU/Linux at all.
