I wouldn't be surprised if they locked down some software modules that were left open for future updates just to make it harder to mod the OS. Of course, most people who mod the U already have backups of older versions of the OS and have been using them for sometime.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they also did some pre-emptive patching to maintain stability for gamers who will be playing SMM, etc offline. I could see how the servers shutting down could cause some stability issues for those games. I wouldn't be surprised if the individual games also get patched when the servers do finally go offline.
