Well, heck, maybe I'm wrong. :-) I haven't actually done it yet, but I can pull up a "Warning: Installing a different OS can void your warranty, are you sure?" message.
I don't have a 10.1, but I did spend a few hours reading through many of those threads last week before I decided against purchasing one for my wife. (We ended up going with the 7+ model instead.)
For what it's worth, my understanding is that there are workarounds to flash an unsigned kernel, it's just a real pain. Also, I think you would get the message you are seeing even if it were unlocked... my Galaxy S2 gives me the same warning before letting me into download mode.
Also, I think you would get the message you are seeing even if it were unlocked
Right. I was thinking that if it were locked it wouldn't have such a thoughtful warning and the option to proceed. But this reasoning could be wrong obviously.

Yes I plan to be a regular on those fora.
