Considering the risk to flash hardware described here,
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device
(with updated discussions in this thread from March 2011,
http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.laptop.org/msg26369.html
describing newer trends),
Is it reasonable to consider the --format install option only necessary for
Intel Macintosh systems or others requiring EFI boot, and for situations
where the flash device would be shared between such systems and other PCs
supporting factory (FAT-formatted) devices?
