This is a hard no-go for future #C64U recommendations from me, if this means third-party firmware will eventually be locked out.

Others have suggested it might be hiding it behind a 'dev' mode, in which case, okay fine.

But if this really is a plan to lock us out of our rather expensive hardware, well... I don't think the 'new Commodore' needs that kind of black eye on their reputation. They'd basically be dead to me at that point.

I truly hope this is a misread.

(For those unaware, there are some really great third-party patches out there adding all kinds of features.)
