Because once the upgrade is installed there's no going back?

Backup your device-specific SHSH signatures for 6.x now!

(Or has Apple closed this hole yet with timestamping?)

Of course you can downgrade. You just can't downgrade after iOS 7 goes gold.

The copy right next to the download link explicitly says you can't. Blogs report otherwise, but that is a very fragile "of course".

Its always been possible, in the past (and now - i believe) you just need to enter dfu mode first, then restore it.

Then use one of your friends that has the developer account, or wait till it's on every phone in the Apple Store. Either way, the point is to reserve judgment until you use it. Just like everything else.

Then why do they show it.

"That is iOS7."

"It appears to be different from iOS6."

"That's an iPhone!"

"I see that Apple made this."

"Well this discussion is getting a little bit too heated for me, I think I will go and reserve my judgement somewhere else for a minute."
