As people have already said, releasing the exploit now isn't harmless, if nothing else it gives people who haven't updated a platform to develop more exploits. It is almost impossible for Nintendo to prevent firmware checks being faked; they have no secure way to transmit a new key to the Wii U which couldn't be intercepted (with the common key), so cryptography can't help them, which means the check is likely something trivial.Well, with the state that things are now, they'll first have to find a way to get past the 5.1.1 barrier to be able to even get back online. Releasing the PPC hack right now would be harmless, that is, until someone finds a way to bypass the firmware requirement checks.
