I wonder if Nintendo patched the Lego Indy Jones and SSBB exploits. Because if not, then most of their efforts here can probably be undone.
My theory is they have had 4.2 ready for a while now (maybe even as long as 4.1 has been out for) and they held back on releasing it. Why? So it will a disc based update with NSBW and Wii Fit Plus (disc based updates are always months behind official but it seems to have gotten insane now...I mean are there any discs out there with 4.0 updates on then let alone 4.1?). You would want to make your biggest anti-piracy attack with your two biggest titles of the year...
fakeedit:Clipper mentioned the answer...
In the past updates have been "completed" months before their release (I think 3.3 was about 3 months) and with the Indiana Pwns hack being released last week it won't be patched. However, it is back to the bad old days of needing to run the hack every time (before the homebrew channel existed one would have to twilgiht hack every single time...).
Indiana Pwns, will be killed for sure with a 4.3 (and killed for good, no resurrections like Twilight Hack) but Smash Stack will be harder to kill since the exploit file is kind of invisible to the system menu.

The day after I bought 2000 points worth of VC and WiiWare, Nintendo crushes my ability to do so! Thanks Nintendo! Now, to disable WiiConnect24...
At least you bought 2000 points worth. I'm left with 2000 unspent points...
The thing that really sucks with this 4.2 update for now if you ask me is the boot2. From what I am aware that is irreversible and bootmii doesn't work with the new boot2 for a reason...
