Hosing a system is a way different than bricking a motherboard.
Hosing a system is something that can be fixed by root by reinstalling from scratch or restoring from backup. Bricking hardware is not something a sysadmin can fix by himself.
Poettering attitude refusing to acknowledge his mistakes and fixing them is not something new.
Someone who doesn't get the difference between deleting the content of a drive and rendering hardware inoperable shouldn't be in charge of a critical system component.
