Noobs and people coming back to the hobby are starting to get the message that all you need is one lipo battery and one cheap charger to be competitive. The revolution has begun.

Same goes for Magnesium and any of the other volatile elements that can be used.
I'm all for longer run times and ease of use such as what Lipo has introduced but perhaps we can work towards the same benefits with a safer cell...
Hope that answers your question.

A123 has flat out said no flames, no explosions. Orion has almost said the same. Technology is definitely getting to an acceptable safety level in these packs. It's just hasn't proved the test of time yet.

Is it waterproof as well for our fellow racers across the pond?

This is true, however Lithium is a highly combustible element. Unlike Sodium and Chlorine that are used to make table salt. Neither of those base elements are highly volatile in their "normal" state. I agree that when mixed with another element you can reduce the volatility, however you are starting from a dangerous base. This is simply my opinion...
