Yeah! Let's thank them for shitting on us!
Seriously, no one needs them. If they don't want to release their notes, someone else will make their own and release theirs. Everything they've posted so far about the Wii U has been "Yeah, we got this shit. You don't. Nanny nanny boo boo, here's a big 'Fuck you.'" The only thing they've helped with is the tri-core vWii crap, which wouldn't be needed if they weren't acting as if they were such head-in-the-cloud angels to begin with, and just released their hacking notes.
I want the Wii U to have success and I highly doubt anyone flamed f0f as I did. Times change, views change. Tri-core began after f0f blog post on the racing attack. A hint given that if that is completed they (f0f) may release more.
Ukey is working on their project(s), and while there is an SDK the tri-core is thought of as a dev environment (last I knew, if I knew correctly). If you release a hack/exploit, it gets patched. So it makes no sense UNLESS you can get in, and stay in. I've argued to be able to take 360 approach (hacked dash, disable updates, build from there). Still, without a dev environment/sdk this is useless (from what I was told). Release info and Nintendo will patch it (likely). This here seems to be about raw read/write. That is not decrypting nand, not getting any keys, not modifying the nand, etc. There is a lot of information that people do not know that f0f does (checks, security, etc). It COULD be you can simply read nand, mod it, re-write it, and like a rooted/unlocked phone you can run what you want. Or, it could check the nand and not let it boot.
So, from somebody who railed against f0f (and apologized on twitter then turned from this flaming I did), there is always a bigger picture. It also makes HUGE sense to let Wii U get going first instead of putting a nail in the coffin (maybe last nail). Wii U is not tremendously interesting as f0f said. As it is, if you want piracy, buy a Ukey when it is released. Homebrew likely to come from tri-core project (especially if more hardware access is given, like Wii U ram access, GPU, etc). Only Marcan and co. know this. This here, now, is a way to restore a bricked Wii U (assuming you read your nand before it crashed). NOT sure if you could flash ANY mamd/emmc image as typically more is needed for this (more details, more hacking depth is needed). If you could decrypt a nand then in THEORY you could "put back" what you broke. Like if you mess up an iso. As it is, nobody is in public modding a Wii U file/ios.
This is not sarcasm, and anyone who knows my rants knows (hopefully) that I have indeed seen the larger picture. No need to insult, and there is interest in Wii U now. Relax, wait, you might be surprised;-)
