There is nothing in the pipeline for 8.x on patched systems. It might never be hacked, and if it is hacked, it'll probably be years. If you want to hack your system, sell it and get an unpatched one.

It's very very bad news
If RCM exploit wasn't a hardware bug, and it was patched on the early years, I'm certain everyone was trying to discover an entrypoint.
Now that RCM is the most common thing, no one cares about the rest...

People care, but you're right that it's not a priority. However, it should be noted that Nintendo did a really good job with security this time around. It should also be noted that 5.x-7.x will probably be hackable on patched systems in the distant future. If someone a.) willfully purchased a patched systems, and b.) willfully updated to 8.x or bought a patched system on 8.x, then the onus is entirely on the user, not the developers.
We're very fortunate to have the RCM exploit on unpatched systems, we're very fortunate to have the warmboot browser exploit on 4.1 (and eventually 5.x-7.x), and people have been screaming from the mountaintops for years about what to do and not do.
Because by the time an exploit is released for firmware 8.X on patched units, the Switch will most likely be at the end of its life cycle and Nintendo will have moved onto the next console.
We'll probably have usable pk1ldrhax before patched systems on 8x+ are hacked kek
What is the hold up with releasing Deja Vu? It has already been snitched off to Sony - It's been patched in Firmware 8.0 anyway..... Needs to be released so those that can use it "can use it" ????
It's not compatible with anything above 4.1.0 at the moment. While it should be able to be made to work with 5.x-7.x, the work hasn't been done yet.
In the meantime, unpatched Switch systems are hackable using the RCM exploit, and patched systems are hackable on 4.1.0 (without the supernag).

- Get a jig (a paperclip bent properly works nicely).
- Make a backup of your NAND in Hekate before doing anything else.
- Use Atmosphere as your CFW.
- Optional: setup an emuNAND for your offline hackery if you want to use your clean sysNAND for online play.
- Optional: install AutoRCM so you don't need to use your jig anymore.
Atmosphere added support for emuNAND approximately a month ago.
Technically they call it emuMMC, there's supposed to be some difference but I wouldn't know, its more or less the same concept as emuNAND, just keep that name in mind if you have to search.
I don't see any reason for it to not be released then.... Since only 4.1.0 and "maybe up to 7.XX - so it's old news for Nintendo and out of reach for many. I'm on 6.2.0 (need to update) but running AutoRCM with no-fuse burn with 4.1.0 (waiting) in downgrade reachable form. I purchased my Switch (new stock with good serial) just to put CFW on in 5 0r 6 months ago more or less. She's a Dock Queen (little to no use) pretty much to say.
It's not done. That's why.
What are you waiting for? The warmboot browser exploit is probably the best 4.1.0 is ever going to get.
- No one is chatting at the moment.

well actually
a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released -
