 - Yes, copy-nand will wipe /security directory, with any leases or
devkeys there.

 - Always a good idea to keep a backup of your dev key. And the lease
too (as it's useful for debugging some activtion cases).

 - With your devkey installed, use the 'disable-security' procedure.
Once it's done, OFW remembers it and your XO is free as a bird,
permanently. If you want to reenable it later (for testing antitheft
features) you can.
