Well in all fairness, you have the option not to upgrade to 3.21 if it really means that much to you. I think a lot of this is blowing in the wind. I'm sure most people don't even know that you can install Linux on the PS3. Plus the RAM limitation (256 mb) along with not having real access to the RSX makes me go eh. I agree that companies shouldn't promise one thing and then two years later do something completely differently.

No, you DON'T have a choice; if you still want to play online/purchase games from the playstation store/play any new game published after this firmware release/use the chat functionality of the machine. Where is the "fairness"? I purchased the machine specifically because of the multi-function aspect, including being able to run Linux on it. I purchased the games I wished to play, both from the playstation store and retail. It was only 6 months ago that this was posted: "On Fri, 2009-08-21 at 09:58 -0700, geoffrey.levand at am.sony.com wrote: The feature of “Install Other OS” was removed from the new “Slim” PS3 model to focus on delivering games and other entertainment content. Please be assured that SCE is committed to continue the support for previously sold models that have the “Install Other OS” feature and that this feature will not be disabled in future firmware releases."
