Why would Sony axe this feature? It makes no sense to me.

PS3 is positioned as a game system and movie player now, not a computer for doing work.  One less point to mess the system up with.

I agree.  Linux on the PS3 is only a selling feature to scientists, and they probably aren't buying many games.  It will be interesting if firmware 3.0 does away with this capability for the current PS3's as well.  I bet it will.
