Another Q is do we care to change the current softmod process to incorporate making a virgin nand backup before running the hackmii installer (ie. installing bootmii@IOS)
Considering that the HackMii installer has not bricked a single console in the entirety of its existence, using Casper>Bootmii>NAND backup before installing HBC is pointless if your goal is to avoid the chance of bricking. If, on the other hand, you just wanted a backup of an *almost* completely unmodded NAND (minus the small file that Casper creates), then you might have a reason for that.
