> As OtherOS will be removed (which came as a surprise, at least to me)

I'm suprised as well, especially considering http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/cbe-oss-dev/2010-February/007202.html (original quote from August 2009).
On the other hand, that's obviously a consequence of the recent hypervisor hacking by Geohot. As I see now, it had been rumoured in February: http://www.ps3hax.net/2010/02/rumor-sony-to-block-otheros-support-next-firmware-update/

Haven't seen such talks in a while, especially not since the Slim variant has been out.
