That's why open source licenses were created (to have a no warranty clause). However, for those that don't read...licenses, having in big bold print "this may break your system" may deter most people. I think most system-breaking-software I've used has had a built in warning. My harsh opinion - don't treat people like children. If they want to play with fire - they will. But I would feel better if the author of the software posted something like "Following these steps has been known to be successful in using this" rather than people googling some out of date information. Using your logic - the guys at cyanogen wouldn't create a wiki describing[1] how to install their ROMs. Arguably installing ROMs on Android devices is a much more intense process than simply modifying your OS (you are hoping that the manufacturer didn't all of a sudden decide to include a kill switch in your model - rendering your $600 phone a paperweight).
