But anyway, of course it's possible to power RaspberryPi from USB hub which it self is connected to it. It's the setup I'm currently using. | |

This polyfuse is still present on the rev2 boards, but won't be protecting anything if the power is coming from the other usb ports. I wouldn't worry too much unless you are experimenting with the GPIO, etc. Even then if you kill the Pi it's not such a big deal now as it was when there was a long waiting time for them. | |
