meh. so it's clear that we have people in the room that are opinionated on both sides of the issue. I admit I was being a little overzealous in my sarcasm... and apparently some feelings got hurt.
I already knew about hackers in XS contributing their own work, BUT it would be naive to say that team xecuter does not have their own team doing research and hacking, which results in a product produced by them, not just as a rumor on XS. Sure, XS ideas can come together for modchip manufs to capitalize on .(Why do you think there are so many flavors of modchip for xbox1?)
All of this is nice discussion

, but let's focus on the OP's intent of this topic.
Awareness needs to be raised regarding the development of a modchip that can do more than just FW mods.
