I don't know anything about hardware modding, but is it too soon to tell?
Would the system actively reject 4.1-4.5 because of the new processor and memory?

This is a pretty stupid. The day you can downgrade a N3DS to 4.5 is the day when you won't **king need to because you cracked the encryption and can run roms on latest firmware.
Stop this nonsense and die in a fire....Ok just kidding on the fire part. But seriously this thread needs to be locked.
Well, considering the fact that the 2DS (which is a revision of the 3DS) can never have 4.1-4.5 firmware, it's definitely safe to assume that the new 3DS models will NEVER EVER be able to use the same exploit that our current incarnation of 3DS consoles can use. Sorry.
I'll put a fair amount of money on a bet to say that the new 3DS models will not have a kernel exploit for a very very very longtime, if not, ever.... Although it would be nice, dem coloured buttons!
It's not that they can never have 4.1 to 4.5 firmware, it's just that none were ever released with it installed.
