So in theory, if you have access to the root key for your own console, someone could write an app that decrypts the entire OFW pkg onto a location on the PS3 Hard Drive (Like Dark_Alex used to do with the PSP firmware decrypters for each release) and then take your own key, and recompile a new PKG CFW with all the security bits removed so that everything that works in the 3.55 CFWs works in ANY firmware, right?
