Comment 2 for bug 316215

Generally speaking, adb doesn't allow you to brick your phone. It can give you a non-root shell (root on a dev phone, but if you have a dev phone there's plenty of ways to brick), install and remove applications, pull and push files from/to the device.

I saw your new udev-extras package. Not much documentation there but would this rule fit there?

Or am I missing something entirely?
