I really don't think we'll be able to do away with mitochondria like, ever. There are serious functional constraints. We sequester the metabolic stuff they do for very good reason, you get a lot of nasty radicals which we don't want damaging our DNA.

The difference in codon interpretation is exciting because it may mean that, say, prepending a stop codon right after the primer might cause an extra tryptophan in the mitochondrion but prevent transcription in the cytosome.

Right, that's what I just said. Ribosomal proteins are nuclear, rRNAs are mtDNA.
