I just read this post here https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2018/shofel2/ and was wondering if this is the beginning phase of us seeing a Wii U USB Helper type app for the Switch?!
Hacking Will FailOverflow Allow Backup Games?

Seems like you didn't read the first 3 sentences.
"Choosing whether to release an exploit or not is a difficult choice. Given our experiences with past consoles, we’ve been wary of releasing vulnerability details or exploits for fear of them being used primarily for piracy rather than homebrew."
They are clearly against piracy (even if their exploit will allow to run pirated games in the future). They won't make a USB Helper or something similar of any kind.
Whenever failoverflow delivers, it’s not for the purpose of piracy but homebrew.
We now have an unpatchable entrypoint granting almost complete control, it is up to us (or other developers) what to make of it.

Sorry - I should have elaborated more. I realize that failoverflow is not interested in the piracy scene, but was unclear if this was opening the door and laying the groundwork for a different dev to come in and create.

Hah - yes this was the info I was after! It potentially gives a dev the ability to create one (I read that failoverflow is strictly after homebrew)
If there's no software solutions, Team Xecuter is going to make a lot of money. We can't allow that here. 
fail0verflow already delivered their own implementation of fusée gelée, a 3D model for a joy con rail adapter and linux for switch. I think that they delivered pretty much.
There will be a software solution sooner or later.If there's no software solutions, Team Xecuter is going to make a lot of money. We can't allow that here.
I know they did, I merely meant to say that whenever they do, it’s not for the purpose of piracy.
Perhaps I should have phrased it better.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
