Hard to understand why they would do that, almost voiding the original homage intent.
Switch update 4.0.0 stubs "flog" -- all code to launch it removed, and flog executable overwritten with (signed) garbage. http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=4.0.0&type=revision&diff=3235&oldid=3229 …

They're probably going to keep removing and then re-adding it back again just before the day of Iwata's passing in order to prevent certain people from accessing it early.
-
Sounds like a lot of effort for minimal benefit.
-
I know but if they truly want to honor Iwata it's the only reasonable thing i can think of, it wouldn't be very smart of them if they actually did permanently remove it.
-
That doesn't sound like Nintendo tho
-
well you never know, they changed face on the switch so you never know what they're thinking

Wow. That pretty much ruins the homage. I wonder what they were thinking?
-
It's because the flog was intended to be an "omamori" for Iwata, or an amulet asking for a blessing. You don't open an omamori or else you lose its blessing. When people found the Golf Iwata tribute, they "opened" the omamori. Omamori are replaced yearly, traditionally.

Woah, this is really cool! I didn't know that!

I actually already did a video on this.

how much you wanna bet it's because of all those articles saying that "hackers found nes golf in the switch" so they're covering it up by making it all seem faked
-
No. It’s not that they want people to think it’s fake, they don’t want people to access something they aren’t meant to, at least yet.

I love that they signed the garbage!
-
From a security standpoint it's pretty important, as obviously the space taken up by the executable can be executed (in theory, though removing the mechanism hamstrings this). Unsigned garbage could maybe become a malware vector.
