I am with FTDI on this, but I would have stopped at tagging a "this is a 
fake chip, and will be bricked at a random time in the next 10,000 
transactions.  Get that message into the logs, and then just godoit.

To arbitrarily brick, without any warning, seem like a very good recipe 
for a lawsuit by some consumer group who hasn't a clue.  They will win 
most of them, but the losers will eat their dinner.
