You miss the point. The issue is not that Apple fails to support unsupported hacks, it's that they deliberately turn them off.

Unsupported means there is no support for the feature. None. Period. That includes continued functionality for the hack.

Why people expect anyone to support unsupported things is beyond me. It doesn't matter if Apple deliberately blocked a hack or inadvertently disabled it. Apple is under no obligation to ensure that unsupported hacks continue to work. None. Period. It doesn't matter how popular the hack is.

Again, Daring Fireball had this right last year. Gruber's post was regarding the iPhone 1.1.1 update, but the logic works for any software hack.

Re: Apple TV update adds several new features
I agree with you garyi! So far, every "new feature" should have been available initially. If it weren't for Boxee, I wouldn't even use it. My PS3 & Xbox 360 perform much better as a media device for my TV.
