Well, I'd tend to discount reading too much into it just yet. These
are systems Apple is putting together for the sole purpose of getting
developers x86 Macs. Whether Apple goes with OpenFirmware or not in
the final version, they probably needed something faster than they
could ready their own, stable version on the new platform.
