I never knew that region lock was such an issue. The people that do care are the ones that like niche games from foreign countries. 

As for reports of bricking and such there are quite a few clones laucher firmwares and region free patches causing this.

No, it was Gateway and that's been confirmed. A lot of their competitors were stealing err- pirating their code,so they made it that if it detected competitors software on there, it would brick your 3DS. Kinda of funny that it's the pirates that go completely crazy to stop people from pirating their work, going much father than companies like EA or capcom would ever go :p

I'd like some source please. 

I guess human nature is a bitch then.
