The Macbook keyboard problems only have three possible endings:
1) Apple is able to be evasive and dishonest until it goes away, probably days after they cancel the free keyboard replacement program and people buy new computers instead of paying Apple $795 to fix Apple's mistake once or twice a year
2) Apple is able to permanently fix it retroactively, but like the trashcan Mac Pro it seems they have painted themselves in to a corner where they cannot proceed and cannot move quickly either
3) Apple offers to replace the affected laptops when they do have an alternative, this is really the best case scenario except 4th gen is coming and if it doesn't fix the issue then it's a long wait to 5th...
Even if they fix it on the next iteration I don't think they would seriously entertain number three without substantial legal action demanding they do the right thing, affected people should consider the $0 resale value on these turds when they're a bit older and get rid of these devices now instead of wait for a $100 settlement in 8 years.
One thing that's quite funny to see is nobody else is able to fix their design flaw either because of how hostile they made the machines to opening up and repairing things.
