SRAM are the second (?) Largest component maker going, and they've been developing it for 8 years (apparently). It's hard to imagine that they weren't consulting with mainstream manufacturers.
In fact on the compatibiltiy page, there are bikes from trek, canyon, giant etc.
I don't think the warranty for frames thing is an issue. The force required to break a frame from a mech hit is surely going to just snap a mech hanger (which is weaker than a frame), thus sending the mech into that wheel or frame causing havoc. The idea behind it being that it's much stronger and less likely to have any issues.
Of course this is just the idea, and as Otter says, it could be a disaster, but they are a pretty large engineering company that generally knows what it's doing.

I can't wait to see what the big box frame makers make of this new SRAM system. It opens them up to a world of potential warranty claims that were previously covered by said £10 piece of replaceable mild steel.
