Chirp has bricked Yeasu radios?

This was discussed on a thread on this list starting on March 27 this year. The upshot was that no normal user of CHIRP is known to have actually bricked a Yaesu. One experimenter did brick a radio while performing the analyses needed to create a new driver, once.
This is roughly analogous to damaging the engine of your car. You won't if you just drive it, but you do run a risk if you disassemble it.

Just got back from the Atlanta HRO, that was the first thing out of sale persons mouth.
Told him it was a myth
That's where I've heard it from, as well.

I've heard it from John Kruk in the Yaesu official group on Facebook.
That's when I decided that Yaesu radios were too fragile for me.
