I know, I did chip hotswapping for several years now. 

While I think it is a great opportunity to be a cheap date, you do risk
messing up the hardware physically if you swap very often. 

And this is exactly the thing that keeps people from "playing around"
with LinuxBIOS as they do with other software projects...
