How long did the whole thing take?

At the moment, I have two concerns regarding updating early using the leaked 3.0 GM file:

1) Installing software obtained from an untrusted source. The file itself has no digital signature, and obviously there's no MD5 hash officially available to check against the downloaded file's MD5 hash (the only MD5 hash I've seen has been posted by people who've downloaded the leak).

2) I've seen mention of the following warning regarding the 3.0 GM:

"By installing iPhone OS 3.0 GM Seed software on your Authorized Test Devices, these Devices are permanently “locked” into test mode and cannot be restored to an earlier release of iPhone OS. Bear this in mind before installing the software."


Not being able to restore to an earlier release... big deal, who would want to downgrade anyway?

But what's all this about being "permanently locked into test mode"? I thought that the leaked version was *the* final version which is going to be officially available on Wednesday, no dev account needed, etc.?
