All I'll be doing is enjoying the two games for it that I want to play for the time being, then tucking it away in a case to await CFW and the opportunity to load it up with emulators.
I'm planning to pick up a Switch tomorrow myself and the first thing I do is put it in airplane mode and never update. It might not be anytime soon, but it will. Above 4.1.0 will get coldboot cfw at some point. We've just had public release of information about switch hacking recently.
Lo and behold, we now have 3.65 hacked (though you have to be on a lower firmware to hack it and then upgrade to this later hacked firmware), and we've been told that sometime around the end of the year we'll get a release of exploits for pretty much all the way up the ladder of firmware for vita. Literally four months ago the people on the vitahacks sub were snapping their teeth at anyone who dared to ask if anything above the currently exploitable 3.60 firmware would ever get hacked, because they'd said for a long time that it would likely never get hacked.
Something will come along, a software that has an exploit, a new hardware revision that has a vulnerability, or something else of the like, and it will make things workable. Whatever stands in the way may be there for a long time, but not forever. They always say that something or other is a death sentence and will never be hacked or will prevent coldboot or something of the like. I've been following homebrew/cfw scenes since back in the heyday of the PSP.
