I say tough luck. The PS3 is meant to be a game console first, and an overall multimedia entertainment device second. They are mostly sold with a loss witch they hope to eventually make profit on by selling games. These kind of practises, how well intended they may be, only cost Sony money. Besides that it posed a security risk for the system to keep the feature, witch the intended audience(gamers) didn't even use anyway.
O yeah and i heart Geohot(they guy who created the ''security risk'' in the first place) made a custom firmware witch you could use to update your system and retain the Other OS feature. Maybe they should contact that guy when they need a PS3 the regain the feature after an repair.
