How does developer mode work?

 

Hi all,

I noticed that Developer Mode had just landed on devel-proposed, and while
I've been following some threads on the list and on IRC, I don't recall
having seen the final conclusions.

>From the POV of an app developer:

- Is Developer Mode reversible? I.e. I remember in the past, once I'd turn
a device to RW mode, I'd have to reflash it to get it back to RO mode and
this be able to use OTA updates.
- What does Developer Mode exactly do? I.e. does it simply set the device
into RW mode, does it do anything else?

Thanks!

Cheers,
David.
