To the end user, that is more frightening than not knowing. In fact there is no guarantee that Meego will ever be ready for "daily" use on the N900. Certainly, many end-users would be unwilling to install Meego if it meant voiding their warranty.
I don't think it's as grim as that, but I don't think you're that far off either. This is in line with that slight dodgy answer from one of the Nokia higher-ups when asked about MeeGo and the n900, it went something like:

"Developer's should be happy."

It's true, I am.
