Logically speaking, the same rule will still apply. And since no one knows when and how the 3DS is to be hacked or if it is even going to be hacked, anything else said will be be purely speculation. It's like asking if the current SCDS2/R4i/Acekard/whichever-cart firmware will be functional when the Ninty decides to update once more. We can only assume that it would not but until then, we don't know. Or according to Schrodinger, it'll be both until we find out. LOL Same story here.
