@Luke: a concern or two regarding the PB pro privacy switches.  While I like the general implementation, I had two big questions:
1. If you're touting the privacy aspects of your privacy switches but then making them based on keyboard firmware, is the firmware for that keyboard ALSO open source?  I didn't see that specifically addressed in the blog.
2. What happens if I need to replace the keyboard, for whatever reason? Will the machine in general still work?  Will the privacy switches still work?


Looking forward to T=0!

1. The firmware for the keyboard (and trackpad) is open source, and there will be software to reprogram it.
2. The machine will still work, but the keyboard may need to be reprogrammed (see above) for the privacy switches to work.
