Re: [Fed-Talk] Cracking Intel OS X - Related to Closed Source

With that being said, even though they may crack a closed source OS X Kernel, the fact that it is closed source will make it more difficult to keep it cracked. Let's say that they crack OS X 10.4.6 to run on a Dell... when 10.4.7 comes out, Apple can make a change somewhere in the code that invalidates the previous crack.

Dear lord, I hope not. Trivial changes are easy to work around, source or no source, and random arbitrary source alteration for no functional purpose will do nothing but introduce bugs.
