My concerns are a bit different. While I like having the radio
keep me honest, and as an extra class licensee, I'm in good
shape with the current radio firmware, I worry about
emergencies. The FCC allows us to work out of band during
emergencies, but I can't move to a public agency frequency in an
emergency because there is no override in the firmware.
Now anytime you work out of band, you should expect to have to
justify it to the FCC. One hopes that they will be gentler than
loss of license and a $10,000 fine if you have a good reason for
your operation. If you have a good reason, it should also play
will in the court of public opinion. YMMV
