End of life, AKA when the 3ds stops receiving software updates. Once it reaches this point, people will probably stop developing exploits for it, and any exploits that work on EOL will work forever, for future people to hack. It's important to save at least one of every exploit (preferably free ones) for this time.
I can understand the concept of doing that, but the 3ds already has all easy ways of downgrading patched. I think it's best to just show it now so we can enjoy it. If it's a strong hack, or the source code is private (only for cfw devs and such) then it would be much harder to patch and we would enjoy for quite some time. Also I think either the 3ds is going to die when the NX comes out (I'd say about a 30% chance) or it'll continue as always so it's death would be a long time from here.
thing is, I also read the thread, something you didn't seem to do. not even the first post.
I know this. I'm simply stating that nedwill is someone who knows their shit. they are indeed working on a full kernel exploit.
...Yes. yes there is.
In short, K9 gives us the ability to downgrade. Right? Oh dear god tell me I'm right. D:
You have no idea what you are talking about and didn't even bother reading the thread.
Even better, k9 is why we downgrade because it was last seen on 9.2. Once it is released for 11.x or whatever new version comes out, it will be the new 9.2, and we dont even need to downgrade anymore
