The open source people (and other teams) are holding on to the unreleased exploits for obvious reasons: they don't want Nintendo's eye on them. Since they are doing this mainly for research, the more people know about the said exploits, the more chance it has to be leaked and therefore patched. They have zero gain in releasing it before Mariko revision comes out. On the other hand, TX have a product and they need to drive sales. And what better to drive them than keeping the hype over 9000? Even the ones that are stuck in iPatched boards are now prone to invest in the SX Pro package as soon as stock is back on resellers as they will want to jump on board from day 1. This being said, it's still very fuzzy if this will be a new payload, updated dongle hardware or something else. We'll have to wait and see. I just hope that this won't become a crystal ball thread with everyone asking about release dates. We don't know yet, TX will announce when they have it ready.
Haters will continue to hate, fanboys will continue to support and bash the haters. So posts like these will mainly be seen only as inflammatory as you're basically hatting the haters. Please do understand that I'm not attacking you on a personal side nor do I want to engage in a discussion about your real intentions that I might have misread. I do concede that already. I'm just saying that I guess it won't ever change and stating facts on one side or the other won't really help.
As a close follower of both the TX and open-source camp, I'm very happy that things are moving forward at this absurdly fast pace. And as a licensed user of SX OS, I'm very happy about the updates and the continued support they're giving to their user base. Like I said on another thread, I'll happily jump on the open-source bandwagon as soon as they have feature parity and all the convenience of an all-in-one solution like SX OS provides. Until then I'll keep learning, gathering info and supporting the best I can.
Peace
